OS13276 Henry Holt and Company New York, NY, U.S.A. 1995 Revised Edition Dust Jacket Near Fine Hard Cover Near Fine Brown paper on boards, purple cloth on spine. Now in clear cover. Jay Parini after the 1994 British edition, revised the book and had it re-published in the U.S. "When John Steinbeck died in 1968, he was the most popular American novelist in the world, and one of a small handful of writers whose work deeply affected the American people. The continuing popularity of his novels, worldwide, attests to his power. Jay Parini explores Steinbeck's love-hate relationship with Hollywood and Broadway, his career as a war correspondent, his difficult first and second marriages, and his often tempestuous associations with numerous celebrities. Drawing on interviews with dozens of people who knew Steinbeck intimately - including his beloved third wife, Elaine - and on published and unpublished letters, diaries, and manuscripts, John Steinbeck is an important reassessment and a masterful portrait of one of the greatest American novelists." $28.00USD
