Opening with letters written during Steinbecks early years in California, and closing with a 1968 note written in Sag Herbor, New York, Steinbeck: A Life in Letters reveals the inner thoughts and rough character of this American author as nothing else has and as nothing else ever will.\n\"The reader will discover as much about the making of a writer and the creative process, as he will about Steinbeck.
