Steinbeck Centennial
Local fans prepare to celebrate the Pulitzer Prize-winning author's 100th birthday with a number of special events
|
John Steinbeck's 100th birthday is Feb. 27, and he wrote his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Grapes of Wrath in 1938 while living in these parts. He also finished Of Mice and Men here. The house he lived in, the first house he and first wife Carol Henning owned, is on Greenwood Lane, now in Monte Sereno, although at the time Steinbeck lived there, it was in the county. Later he and Carol built a house in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and they called it home until 1941, when the marriage foundered and Steinbeck moved to New York. After years of suffering rejection slips, Steinbeck had won some recognition by the time he wrote The Grapes of Wrath, his eighth published novel. Many scholars argue that the Nobel Prize for Literature, which was awarded to him in 1962 for his body of work, was awarded in large part for The Grapes of Wrath.
