‎The Viking Press 1939. 9th Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 9th printing. Lacks jacket. Spine toned two small spots on front board. 1939 Hard Cover. We have more books available by this author!. 473 1 pp. 8vo. Set during the Great Depression it traces the migration of an Oklahoma Dust Bowl family to California and their subsequent hardships as migrant farm workers. It won a Pulitzer Prize in 1940. The work did much to publicize the injustices of migrant labor. The narrative interrupted by prose-poem interludes chronicles the struggles of the Joad family's life on a failing Oklahoma farm their difficult journey to California and their disillusionment once they arrive there and fall prey to a parasitic economic system. The insularity of the Joads--Ma's obsession with family togetherness son Tom's self-centeredness and daughter Rose of Sharon's materialism--ultimately gives way to a sense of universal community.

During Steinbeck's visit Kerry went to Jon's house and took his parent's Heritage Club copy of The Grapes of Wrath which Steinbeck signed with the wonderful inscription: "For Mr. & Mrs. Quinn from John Steinbeck who isn't angry at anybody".
