Mad at the World A Life of John Steinbeck – Online Free Audiobook

Mad at the World is a biography by author William Souder.
Mad at the World sheds light on what has made John Steinbeck’s work an enduring part of the literary canon: his capacity for empathy. Angry at the plight of Dust Bowl migrants, who are starving even as they toil to reap California’s limitless bounty, and appalled at the country’s refusal to recognize humanity common to all his citizens, Steinbeck stood up against social injustice – paradoxically because of his inherent aberration.

A quick, compassionate, and ultimately brilliant man, Steinbeck can be a difficult person to like. Obsessed with privacy, he doesn’t trust people. Besides writing, his favorite things are drinking, promiscuity, and getting married, which he has done three times. He claims to be indifferent to success, his books and mid-career film deals have made him a lot of money. Steinbeck also addresses the erosion of power, the risk of income inequality and the urgency of ecological collapse.

Steinbeck remains our great social realist novelist, a writer who has given voice to the disenfranchised and dispossessed in American life and correspondence. Mad at the World records the full measure of the person and his work.
