"To augment their savings, the Arisses took over the editorship of The Monterey Beacon, an experimental local literary magazine, and published John Steinbeck's "The Snake" in 1934. [4] William Saroyan passed through Monterey and sold a short story for one dollar to the Arisses for publication in the Beacon. [5] Years later Bruce Ariss created artwork and served as editor for a local magazine What's Doing on the Monterey Peninsula. [6].Ariss was a friend and contemporary of John Steinbeck, the Nobel Prize-winning author, and Ed Ricketts. Bruce and Jean Ariss accompanied Ricketts and Steinbeck on an excursion to Mexico to collect marine specimens. His account of the trip, including numerous sketches, were published in his 1988 book Inside Cannery Row: Sketches from the Steinbeck Era (Lexikos) which offers a rare insight into the obstinate but charming Steinbeck, who himself wrote of one such journey in the book The Log from the Sea of Cortez.
