"I became John Steinbeckers. I wonder if that's how it's going to go," says author of "Hatfields and the Mccoise" The book is based on his grandfather, Samuel who never makes a lot of money because the farm he picked is not great. He likes to invent stuff and come up with mechanical solutions for things but then doesn't really do a good job of making them.
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.
