American novelist John Steinbeck, 1902-1956, wrote primarily on themes that reflected his upbringing in the California Central Valley city of Salinas. Noted for his socially critical work, his writing won many awards including the Pulitzer Prize in 1940 and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968.

John Steinbeck was one of the most widely read and anthologized American authors of the 20th century, best known for his allegorical novels of the working classes, notably Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath. Born in Salinas, California, which would provide the setting for many of his works, Steinbeck attended Stanford University but left without taking a degree. He worked in various jobs, developing a pro-labor viewpoint, and published several novels before finding success with Tortilla Flat in 1935. He wrote for several newspapers, including an overseas stint as a war correspondent in World War II, and his research on the Dust Bowl, which included living with migrant workers for two years, led to The Grapes of Wrath, which won the Pulitzer Prize. His later novels were popular bestsellers, but met with indifference from critics; he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962.

During his stay in Paris in 1954 Steinbeck wrote 17 articles for LE FIGARO. He contacted Leslie S. (Lee) Brady, then U.S. Public Affairs Officer in charge of Press, Information and Cultural Affairs (USIA) to review his manuscripts before submission, hoping to insure that he not inadvertantly offend French sensibilities and damage the delicate Franco-American relations of the time. The two maintained their friendship throuh the following years, and in 1963 Steinbeck was able to travel to the Soviet Union to meet writers and intellectuals through the auspices of Lee Brady who at that time was Assistant Director of USIA for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

Born in 1902, the third of four children, John Steinbeck was the only son of John Ernst and Olive Hamilton Steinbeck. Raised in the family home in Salinas, California, Steinbeck roamed the woods and explored Monterey Bay and the Big Sur. He was not a motivated student, but he knew from an early age that he wanted to write. He graduated from Salinas High School in 1919 and entered Stanford University, which he attended intermittently until 1925. He often took time off in order to earn money for the following term's tuition and took a variety of jobs including clerk, surveyor, and ranch hand. In 1923 Steinbeck took a class in marine biology which sparked a life long interest in the subject. He left Stanford in 1925 without graduating.

Steinbeck began writing fiction in college and published a few pieces in the school paper. When he left school he decided New York was the place for an aspiring writer to be, so he took a job on a freighter and headed East. Less than a year later, discouraged by his lack of success, he returned to California on another steamer. He spent the next couple of years working as a handyman and caretaker at a Lake Tahoe estate and in February 1928 he finished his first novel Cup of Gold. Later that year he met Carol Henning, whom he would marry two years later. At the end of the year he moved to San Francisco, where Henning had a job, moved in with a friend who was also a budding writer, and began working on his second novel.

Cup of Gold was published in 1929 and Steinbeck and Henning were married in 1930. The couple lived simply, largely supported by Steinbeck's father. Steinbeck published Pastures of Heaven (1932) and To a God Unknown (1933) in quick succession, but the bankruptcy of his publisher left him without any consistent means of income from his writing. The couple moved into the Steinbeck family's cottage in Pacific Grove and, as the grip of the Depression tightened, lived largely on what they could grow or catch in the sea. Steinbeck traveled in California a great deal during the Depression and he wrote about what he saw. What some critics consider his greatest works were published during the thirties including Tortilla Flat (1935), Of Mice and Men (1937), The Red Pony (1937), and The Grapes of Wrath (1939).

Early in 1941 Steinbeck separated from Henning and in the fall moved to New York City with Gwyndolyn Conger. His divorce became final in 1942 leaving him free to marry Conger in early 1943. Steinbeck left almost immediately to travel to Europe as a foreign correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune. Gwyndolyn had two children with Steinbeck, Thom in 1944 and John in 1946. The couple moved back and forth between New York and California during the forties and divorced in 1948.

Steinbeck met his third wife, Elaine Scott, in 1949 and they married in 1950. They lived primarily in the New York City area, spending part of each winter in Mexico or other warm climes, and in 1955 they bought a summer cottage in Sag Harbor. Steinbeck continued to write, varying his steady stream of novels with plays and screen adaptations. Many of his novels were performed on stage or made into movies. In 1960, despite illness, Steinbeck took a cross-country trip with only a French poodle for company. The diary of this trip became Travels with Charley (1962). His last novel, The Winter of Our Discontent, was published in 1961. After traveling to Stockholm in 1962 to accept the Nobel Prize for Literature, Steinbeck's health began to decline. He had been suffering small strokes for several years, and they began to worsen. He died at home in 1968.
