John Ernst Steinbeck (February 27, 1902 鈥?December 20, 1968) was one of the best-known and most widely read American writers of the 20th century. Responsible for both the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Grapes of Wrath, released in 1939 and the novel Of Mice and Men, released in 1937, he wrote 25 publications, including sixteen novels, six non-fiction books and several collections of short stories. In 1962 Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize for Literature.





Steinbeck grew up in the Salinas region of California, an agrarian yet culturally mixed place of rich migratory and immigrant history which imparted a regionalistic flavor on his writing, giving many of his works a holistic sense of place.[1][2] After moving briefly to New York he soon returned home to California to begin his career as a writer. Most of Steinbeck's earlier work dealt with subjects familiar to him from his formative years. A semi-exception was his first novel Cup of Gold which concerns the pirate Henry Morgan, whose adventures had captured Steinbeck's imagination as a child.





In his subsequent and more successful novels, the author found a more authentic voice by drawing on his direct memories of life in California, and later, upon real historical conditions and events in the first half of 20th century America, which Steinbeck had experienced first-hand, as a reporter. Steinbeck often populated his stories with struggling characters, with his works examining the lives of the working class and migrant workers during the Dust Bowl and subsequent Great Depression. His later body of work reflected his wide range of interests, including marine biology, politics, religion, history, and mythology. One of his last published works was Travels with Charley, a travelogue of a road trip he took in 1960 to rediscover America. He died in 1968 in New York of a heart attack and his ashes are interred in Salinas.





Seventeen of his works, including Cannery Row (1945), The Pearl (1947), and East of Eden (1952), went on to become Hollywood films (some appeared multiple times, i.e. as remakes), and Steinbeck also achieved success as a Hollywood writer, receiving an Academy Award nomination for Best Story in 1944 for Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat.
