Typed Letter one page. 1 vols. 10-14/ x 7-1/2 inches. Slightly age-darkened but very good overall. Typescript 3pp. numbered 1-3 on rectos of 3 leaves of duplicated radioplay typescript struck through approximately 600 words. Typed Letter one page. 1 vols. 10-14/ x 7-1/2 inches. Evocative Steinbeck story or "mood piece" imagining a decorated black pilot returning to his hometown cheered by his neighbors and welcomed by his father in the house he grew up in with the remark: "Son - every black man in the world is going to fly with your wings." In his cover letter to his friend Burgess Meredith who served in the Air Force during the war he writes: "DEAR BUZZY: A different version of the following was done for overseas broadcast to the troops by O.W.I. This is a different version. I don't know whether you would like to use it or not. It has an odd length. I might be a good idea to use it in some one of your shows. If you want it you are quite welcome to it. It was written against a background of music imagined music I mean. Should you desire to use it I think the story itself will suggest the music. Let me suggest however that the music be soft sustained and all of one piece and that it do not attempt to be directly descriptive of the piece but rather of the spirit of the piece. I would suggest that you yourself read it using the beautiful technique you used in "The Forgotten Village" . the soft reading that seems not to be reading at all. This is pure mood and would have to be delivered like soft music. Anyway there it is and you're welcome to it - if you want it." Office of War Information for which Steinbeck worked during the WW II. UNPUBLISHED until 2014 when the revived Strand Magazine published a version based upon a different typescript from the Steinbeck papers at HRC; a unique draft or variant copy of this moving war-time sketch.

réf. 06585London: William Heinemann Ltd 1947. Steinbeck Between War and Mastery - The Wayward Bus First UK Edition - A Transitional Work STEINBECK John. The Wayward Bus. London: William Heinemann Ltd. 1947. First UK edition. Octavo 7 3/4 x 5 1/8 inches; 197 x 130 mm. vi 254 pp. Publisher's purple linen over boards spine lettered in silver. Boards with some damp staining to outer edges. In the original dust jacket printed in green and white with minor wear to extremities. A very good copy. Published in the same year as the American edition The Wayward Bus occupies a fascinating transitional position in Steinbeck's career bridging the earlier socially engaged novels of the 1930s with the more expansive philosophical works that would culminate in East of Eden. Set over the course of a single journey the novel brings together a diverse cast of characters - drifters dreamers and the quietly desperate - trapped together both physically and emotionally a microcosm of postwar American life. Despite the modest condition issues to the boards this remains a solid and presentable example of an increasingly elusive Steinbeck first in its UK issue. Goldstone & Payne A33b.

réf. 06588New York: The Viking Press 1961. Steinbeck's Final Novel - A Dark Meditation on Conscience and Corruption The Winter of Our Discontent - First US Edition STEINBECK John. The Winter of Our Discontent. New York: The Viking Press 1961. First US edition. Octavo 8 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches; 210 x 140 mm. viii 1-5 6-311 1 blank pp. Publisher's blue cloth front cover stamped in blind spine blocked in black and lettered in silver top edge stained pale blue. In the original color pictorial dust jacket price-clipped with very light chipping to spine extremities. A fine copy in a very good dust jacket. Steinbeck's last novel The Winter of Our Discontent is a searching and often somber exploration of morality in modern America. Set in a declining New England town the novel follows Ethan Allen Hawley a man of integrity increasingly tempted - and ultimately compromised - by the corrosive pressures of ambition social expectation and material success. Darker in tone than much of Steinbeck's earlier work it stands as a late-career reckoning with questions of ethics identity and the cost of prosperity. The present example despite the price-clipping and slight wear remains a notably fresh and appealing copy of Steinbeck's final major work. Goldstone & Payne A38a. New York: The Viking Press, 1961 unknown books
