The biblical account of Cain and Abel is echoed in the history of two generations of the Trask family in California.

"As soon as he tries to see adult experience in the usual way and to find the familiar kind of moral in it, [his] insight and talent cease to work and he writes like the author of any third-rate best-seller."

Arthur Mizener, New Republic, 10/06/1952

"Probably the best of John Steinbeck's novels, 'East of Eden' is long but not 'big', and anyone who, deceived by its spread in space and time (c.1860-1920), says that it is 'epical in its sweep,' is merely in the usual grip of cliche....Through the exercise of a really rather remarkable freedom of his rights as a novelist, Mr. Steinbeck weaves in, and more particularly around, this story of prostititution a fantasia of history and of myth that results in a strange and original work of art."

Mark Schorer, New York Times Book Review, 9/21/52
