Adam has moved his family from the ranch into the city because he wants them to go to school and get a better education. Caleb is Adam who is sort of rich. Loses a bunch of money in a refrigeration scheme where he wants to send a bunch of lettuce to the east coast in a refrigerated train car. And all the lettuce is bad by the time it gets there because there's not enough infrastructure for it to work. Meanwhile, Aaron has decided that he doesn't want to go to college anymore. He does just want to be with his girlfriend, even though he doesn't really love her.
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.
