Descrizione:

A Fine undated AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT written, in pencil, entirely in John Steinbeck's hand on 3 yellow legal sheets and marked "Sunday Times Article" in pencil at the top of the first page (with some minor corrections in ink), together with a 6-page corrected typescript (with the corrections in pencil) in Steinbeck's hand. In the Article, Steinbeck, who begins "So often I am asked what became of the migrant people I wrote about in The Grapes of Wrath.", describes the migrant people of whom he wrote, their work ethic and aspirations, and their manner of establishing their place in the world. Steinbeck provides an interesting look at these people while at the same time describing the state of California then existing and its transition to the then-present, referring to issues that existed then and that, interestingly, have been resurrected in the modern era, such as California's current struggle with the present-day migrants now flowing into and populating that State. Indeed, Steinbeck seems not only to be recounting history, but also to be providing a prescient view of issues that have resurrected themselves, though in a different context. Both the manuscript and the typescript are in excellent condition, showing very little wear and just a bit of darkening to the bottom of the manuscript's first page. An interesting look at the lives of the people Steinbeck showed to the world in his Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Grapes of Wrath" and peek into Steinbeck's thoughts about the laboring migrants who themselves played such a large role in his writing. A wonderful AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT AND CORRECTED TYPESCRIPT from the 1962 winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. A collection-distinquishing item for the Steinbeck collector as well as for any collector of modern literature. RARE. Codice inventario libreria
