1945120332New York: The Viking Press 1945. First edition of this classic work by the Nobel Prize-winning author. Octavo bound in three quarters morocco over marbled boards gilt titles and tooling to the spine raised bands. In fine condition. John Steinbeck's picaresque novel set against the backdrop of the sardine canneries vacant lots flophouses and honky-tonks of Monterey California "was as complex as Steinbeck was. In a way it was a summation of all his conflicts and contradictions and all that he had learned. It was Steinbeck-funny and deadly serious all at the same time sentimental and coldly deterministic loving and satirical lyrical and yet very precise. Nowhere else in his work is his poetry so well controlled and nowhere else does he cut quite so deep" Benson 554-5. The Viking Press hardcover books
