It's an important story that with brothels and like and kill violence and stuff in it. There is a narrative. The two main sets of characters we've got they live in the Salinas Valley in Northern California. It happens in chapters where you get this first person narrator who is a version of John Steinbeck. And maybe I just read enough books that came after this book where a lot of people do that anyway. Like, I've read Dave Foster Wallace.
After 488 episodes, we finally return to ol' Johnny Steinbeck. East of Eden mixes autobiography, pastoral fiction, and Biblical allegory -- a cocktail that has dismayed critics and excited audiences for decades. We dig into what works in this sprawling story and what might leave some readers wanting more.
Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
