Book: The Grapes Of Wrath
Title: The Grapes of Wrath
Author: John Steinbeck
NLS Number: DB68308
Another classic I’ll start reading today. The introduction says that this story is about a family of 1930s sharecroppers, who, forced to leave their dwindling farms in Oklahoma, move west, to California to find a better life. But most of them found far worse; including famine and death. There, among the ravages of greed, were born the Grapes of Wrath. Curious that I would choose this book at the very time that Arizona adopted a tough immigration law that would seem to encourage the sort of profiling and brutality perpetrated against the characters in this book.
