This book was primarily I think because of its like sexual content. There's one character who runs a brothel and there's a lot of scenes that take place there. Ultimately, the book has this kind of like fervent belief in the positive mutability of man. Baby John Steinbeck shows up on like a page. It's a very angry Jerry Seinfeld who's on the school board for some reason. And the only other thing I saw like this book was written for his two sons as well.
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.
