His characteristic narrative method is to portray these people with an unerring mixture of realism and romance.Īlthough the Great Depression is the central social focus of Steinbeck’s best work, his characters respond to those social forces not only in terms of realistic confrontation but also in the form of a romantic, intuitive escape.
His fiction is peopled with men and women somehow shoaled from society’s mainstream yet possessed of a vision that is itself a source of strength. The qualities that most characterize the work of John Steinbeck ( Febru– December 20, 1968) are a supple narrative style, a versatility of subject matter, and an almost mystical sympathy for the common human being.
