A friend posted this on Facebook the other day and I immediately fell in love. So much so that I had it printed at Costco (8x10 matte, in case you're curious) and will put it in a frame this weekend. I think it's fabulous and funny and lovely. I thought that I'd share it with you.
Love it Dawn. Thanks for sharing. Did you notice that it wasn't John who signed the letter? I would think, when asking something so personal, he would have signed it, not his secretary.

Ha! This man was pure business. But funny as hell.
East of Eden was absolutely brilliant. One of my favorites, by far.
Flight is an excellent starting point -- a story that will break your heart; used to be emphasized in (junior) high school when I was coming of age; The Grapes of Wrath, with its "sidebars" between chapters, shows an earlier more-simplistic side to Steinbeck, but he clearly.went on -- and deeper -- from there.
And with its constant use of Biblical parallels (no less than three Cain-and-Abel stories), and coupled with the theme of twins by different fathers, nothing else comes close to East of Eden.

Agreed! He was an amazing writer.
