From the jacket "This new novel will probably surprise even his Steinbeck’s warmest admirers. Instead of being set in the Far West the scene of most of his books this one takes place on the Northeastern sea board; instead of depicting simple uneducated people this deals chiefly with a well-born well-to-do society with long traditions behind it. But it deals with it in a way that reveals the continuity within Steinbeck’s diversity; through the lives of one family and their friends he has taken that society apart shown its frightening shams and shortcomings and measured it against true human decency. The result is a novel in its very dfferent way as powerful as anything he has done and certain to stand as a major work in the Steinbeck canon Viking unknown

The Wayward Bus is a novel by American author John Steinbeck originally published in 1947. The novel contains several references to the recent Second World War and America's attempts to adjust to life in the immediate postwar era. No single character dominates The Wayward Bus. The viewpoint shifts frequently from one character to another often taking the form of internal monologue so that we are experiencing a given character's thoughts. Much of the novel's length is simply devoted to establishing and delineating the various characters. This novel takes place firmly within "Steinbeck country": most of the narrative occurs at Rebel Corners a crossroads 42 miles south of San Ysidro California. Although considered one of Steinbeck's weaker novels at the time of its original publication The Wayward Bus was financially more successful than any of his previous works.
