The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck Book Summary

The Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression, a book that galvanized—and sometimes outraged—millions of readers.

First published in 1939, Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression chronicles the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s and tells the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads—driven from their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised land of California. Out of their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of an America divided into Haves and Have-Nots evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity. A portrait of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, of one man’s fierce reaction to injustice, and of one woman’s stoical strength, the novel captures the horrors of the Great Depression and probes into the very nature of equality and justice in America. At once a naturalistic epic, captivity narrative, road novel, and transcendental gospel, Steinbeck’s powerful landmark novel is perhaps the most American of American Classics.

Truly Gutwrenching. How else can one truly describe it? If you thought “Of Mice and Men’ was too heartbreaking, you might need to shy away from this one, but at the same time, in doing so you would pass on one of the greatest, most gripping, stories ever told with some of the most believable and authentic human beings dreamt into existence within it’s pages. You will find yourself caring about these people that don’t exist and that’s why this book rips you apart.

Brutal and Beautiful. Brutal and beautiful from the first word to the last, as applicable today as it was when it was written, how larger forces of capitalism are completely dehumanizing, how today we dehumanize people wanting to enter this country out of fear and hunger by designating them as migrants and aliens is no different than calling the people dislocated to California Oakies. The Joad family, especially Ma, is heroic in the tenderness despite the relentless hardship and need to survive. It reminds me how brutal a nation we are to refuse hardworking, family oriented people who have already survived amazing obstacles to arrive at our southern borders.

A semi-boring classic. An interesting fiction based upon the historic American dust bowl and Great Depression. Fitzgerald’s writing style does get quite onerous.

Misleading title. The grapes weren’t that angry
