John Steinbeck, 1945

Date read: 7/31/24


This is another one like The Heart is a Lonely Hunter or Winesburg, Ohio that isn't actually a novel, because there is no overarching plot or story. It is called a "slice of life" which is just vignettes. I didn't dislike it, but I definately prefer novels with stories and plots.
