John
Steinback wrote the Noble-prize literature (1940) for five months. While doing so, this was the
time when his brother-in-law just died and his fears and insecurities on the
upcoming war that might affect their house in California. In short, John was
under a lot of stress and problems during the creation of the book. However, he
still deed his efforts such as visiting the Arvin Federal Government Camp to get a picture
of the place he could use in his book.
