The Grapes of Wrath
- Narrated by: Dylan Baker
John Steinbeck’s powerful retelling of the suffering and hardship caused by the Great Depression, and a sweeping vision of the struggle for the American Dream, The Grapes of Wrath includes an important introduction by Robert. DeMott in Penguin Modern Classics. “I did my best to rip the reader’s nerves, I didn’t want him to be satisfied.”
Shocking and controversial when first published in 1939, Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning epic The Grapes of Wrath remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set in Dust Bowl Oklahoma and the lives of immigrants in California, the film follows Tom Joad and his family, who, like thousands of others, are forced to travel west in search of the promised land. Their story is one of vain hopes, thwarted desires, and shattered dreams, but out of their suffering, Steinbeck crafted a deeply human drama. but still majestic in terms of scale and moral vision. Adapted into a popular film directed by John Ford and starring Henry Fonda, The Grapes of Wrath is an eloquent tribute to the endurance and dignity of the human spirit.
I enjoyed Tom Joad’s intro. When the truck driver picked him up and started talking to him, he knew right away that he was being overrated. Fresh out of prison, he is sharp, honest and proud and will not be looked down upon. The dialogue and characterization in this scene brought his character to life as a hopeful hero.
