The corrosiveness of insider dealing,an east coast report from John Steinbeck

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: Although overwritten and irritatingly ended, a novel of continuing relevance on the corruptions fueld by greed.
Review: Steinbeck's last novel is set not in "Steinbeck country" (central California) but firmly in what was already in 1961 Cheever/Updike country, suburban Long Island where adultery and alcoholism loomed larger as topics for fiction than did social...
