He knew the fantastic stories about waitresses who became dramatic stars overnight but Norma didn't have the bubs for it he thought nor the legs. Norma's legs were like sticks. But then he knew about two or three picture stars who were so plain without make-up that no one would recognize them off the screen. He'd read about them. And Norma even if she didn't look it - well they could pad her out and if her cousin was Clark Gable why that was an "in" you couldn't beat. That was the breaks.". The Viking Press hardcover

rif. TTB-2242Hardcover. Fine. The final novel of one of America's most beloved writers - a tale of degeneration corruption and spiritual crisis. In awarding John Steinbeck the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature the Nobel committee stated that with The Winter of Our Discontent he had resumed his position as an independent expounder of the truth with an unbiased instinct for what is genuinely American. Ethan Allen Hawley the protagonist of Steinbeck's last novel works as a clerk in a grocery store that his family once owned. With Ethan no longer a member of Long Island's aristocratic class his wife is restless and his teenage children are hungry for the tantalizing material comforts he cannot provide. Then one day in a moment of moral crisis Ethan decides to take a holiday from his own scrupulous standards. Set in Steinbeck's contemporary 1960 America the novel explores the tenuous line between private and public honesty and today ranks alongside his most acclaimed works of penetrating insight into the American condition. hardcover
