![]() ![]() The entire matter illuminates the failure of a greatly talented writer to develop into a major novelist-a failure that has puzzled many Steinbeck readers. All of this appears to have had grave consequences in a good deal of Steinbeck's later work. Apparently he felt that he had structured the novel rigidly that this was a good way to achieve structure that only the stupidity of a mass audience obscured the issue.
