The Nobel Prizes don't release any of the anything about who was up for it or the deliberations. It turns out Steinbeck was just some weird like compromised choice that everybody could get behind. I think when they asked Steinbeck about it, if he deserved it, he was like, frankly, no. He said, no, he didn't,. he didn't think he did.
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.
