It is read by school children all throughout the USA and around the world and it has been talked about at length by literary critics since its first appearance. This book is a classic book for many reasons. The book was originally published in 1939 and is an American realist novel that follows the migration of the Joad family from Oklahoma to California in the search of work and a new life. Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1962 and The Grapes of Wrath was given specific praise. John Steinbeck’s book won the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. I also think that it’s important to read a Nobel Prize winning author every now and then. I think it is important to immerse oneself in a wide variety of literary genres from all over the world. I’ve always wanted to read The Grapes of Wrath. Book cover of John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath. ![]()
