Written at a time of profound anxiety caused by the illness of his mother Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck draws on his memories of childhood in these stories about a boy who embodies both the rebellious spirit and the contradictory desire for acceptance of early adolescence. Unlike most coming-of-age stories the cycle does not end with a hero "matured" by circumstances. As John Seelye writes in his introduction reversing common interpretations The Red Pony is imbued with a sense of loss. Jody's encounters with birth and death express a common theme in Steinbeck's fiction: They are parts of the ongoing process of life "resolving" nothing.

Drawing on his memories of the real inhabitants of Monterey California including longtime friend Ed Ricketts Steinbeck interweaves the stories of Doc Dora Mack and his boys Lee Chong and the other characters in this world where only the fittest survive to create a novel that is at once one of his most humorous and poignant works.

1940WRCLIT77071Los Angeles: 2oth Century-Fox 1940. Five original 8 x 10" glossy b&w stills. Pencil numbers on two versos otherwise near fine. Thomas Hart Benton prepared several works as publicity pieces for John Ford's 1940 film version of Steinbeck's novel most famously a version of THE DEPARTURE OF THE JOADS that was incorporated in several of the differing styles of posters. He also prepared a series of portraits of the characters but these were not incorporated in the posters but rather utilized in the theatre program that was offered at the opening exhibitions of the film. They were also reproduced in the form of six stills according to the negative numbers - only five are present here evidently in very limited quantities as they are quite scarce. Apart from an appearance by this same group at auction in 2008 we've not encountered another. 2oth Century-Fox unknown books
