"I loved this collection of Steinbeck's nonfiction. He is hilarious and it doesn't really come out in his fiction. There were several articles that had me cracking up (loved My War With The Ospreys). There were also some really heartfelt pieces he wrote on his friends. The set of essays America and Americans that end this volume actually were probably my least favorite. The way he wrote on the wars that he covered as a journalist (WW2 and Vietnam) as well as his travel writings were fantastic."
"Good overview of the whole spectrum of Steinbeck's nonfiction--even including some of his extreme downer nagging from when he's older. Great broadview, with some real gems. Heightened my understanding of where he's coming from. Highly recommended for ant Steinbeck enthousiasts."
