omg, another Steinbeck reader 😊

he is pretty much one of my favourite writers, his style has been a great influence on me

he writes as simply as possible using everyday prose to evoke powerful imagery

it’s so hard to do, you have to be precise , every word counts, he rarely uses idioms

it does have a down side, stupid people think that if something is easy to read then it obviously cant have deep meaning or be valuable or powerful,
