1957réf. 3236201957. unbound. fine. 4 page single-spaced carbon typescript of an original short story apparently sent to a few friends as a holiday keepsake. This scatalogical tale was never in print as no book house would accept it for obvious reasons. Presentation copy to Nick Cassavetes brother of John with a four word inscription in Greek. Undated but circa 1957. In order to preserve the integrity of its unpublished state we won't disclose the full transcript but can say that the story tells of a peculiar incident occurring in an elementary school bathroom -- it is true to Steinbeck's style of capturing with simplicity and economy of word the fascination children have with their bodily functions. Although today the story would not be deemed "unpublishable" in the context of the 50's it is completely understandable why even such a literary giant as Steinbeck could not find a publisher for it. unknown books
