It's very :marseymid:. People raged about it, and it's required reading in a lot of American high schools, so I gave it a try, finished it, and was :marseyunamused: .

What's it about

Migrant laborers during the Great Depression in the States with a couple Christ allegories thrown in. I like Steinbeck. East of Eden Is his best work, burgers generally consider him to be one of the most important Anglosphere authors of the 20th century. Grapes of Wrath and The Pearl are in nearly 100% of K-12 curriculums.

Politics are pro-labor, which should be expected coming from an author in that era.

East of eden is bully cuck fiction. Crazy you'd admit you like that in public.

Really great prose though, the guy could make a place come to life.
