Hey, I've always been a Steinbeck fan too! I particularly enjoyed both his
"paisano" novellas, _Tortilla Flat_ and _Cannery Row_...the latter of the
two introduced me to the concept of a Beer Milkshake. Contrary to how that
might sound, they are actually quite good.
In all seriousness though, I have heard numerous attacks on Steinbeck by
the alleged literary intellectuals for being "too flowery" and not being
apropos with his style. Personally, I find his writing to be very fluid
and natural, as if he is observing things as they are, with just the
slightest glint of amusement in his eye. It reminds me of Auden's poetry.
