"July 09: The Long Valley, 4 of 5 The most of Valley's collection is solid, standard Steinbeck fare. The eleventh of thirteen stories, "Saint Katy", however, is terribly out of place in both style and content, a poorly executed experiment in fable having nothing whatever to do with the rest of the collection's shared elements of time, manner and place. It's really quite puzzling and bizarre why after ten stories we suddenly leave early 20th-century Salinas Valley in order to witness Steinbeck completely out of his element with a sloppily-written tale of a talking pig's elevation to sainthood by 13th-century monks, only to be thrust back almost with a vengence into the bright, shining star of the collection, the flawless, beautifully constructed, exemplary "The Red Pony", which I'm inclined to tuck just behind East of Eden as my favourite Steinbeck work."
"I re-read many of Steinbeck's books in winter for a conference I had planned on attending. Didn't make it to the conference, but enjoyed the reading. The end image of Grapes of Wrath still leaves me speechless. I especially enjoyed "The Long Valley" this time around."
