Review
“This is, at last, a good critical study of all of Steinbeck’s longer fiction. . . . Levant is determined to sidestep the impressionistic and peevish paeans and diatribes of earlier commentators and to apply hard, fixed, and useful critical touchstones to Steinbeck’s books. His concern is chiefly with the harmony, or lack of it, between Steinbeck’s ‘structure’ and ‘materials,’ and more precisely between the writer’s use of panoramic (episodic) and dramatic (tightly related) structure.”—Choice
“Howard Levant has written a good and important book, one which no serious student of Steinbeck’s fiction can afford not to read. In the process, he has advanced Steinbeck studies to a new threshold of sophistication and critical excellence.”—Steinbeck Quarterly
“Levant’s study . . . is perhaps the most unusual book ever written on the novelist, one that stresses his strengths as well as his weaknesses.. . . . What is particularly gratifying about Levant’s book is its iconoclasm.”—Contemporary Literature
