What's the deal with Grapes of Wrath ? Is it political propaganda ? Should I read it ?

You can always suck my grapes of wrath.

Steinbeck is libtard crap

>>512898646
Demoralizing garbage.

>>512896770 (OP)
i would never recommend steinbeck when you can read a two dozen of his superior contemporaries instead. there are only two reasons to read it, either you've been assigned it for a class, or some stupid bitch you know likes steinbeck and you want to cum in her face.

He plagiarized the entire book by stealing the notes of a woman, complete fucking hack faggot confirmed.

>>512898847
I’m extremely far right, far enough to where I’m very likely on lists, and I like steinbecks work a lot all of his novels are great and they are only very slightly left leaning and borderline centrist compared to the insanity that is the left now

>>512896770 (OP)
Well, long story short, things were pretty shit here in the 1930s.

>>512896770 (OP)
>Is it political propaganda
Yes
>Should I read it
The dustbowl was terrible, eating too many peaches will give you the shits. There now you can skip it.

>>512896770 (OP)
It ends with a grown man nursing off the tit if a woman who just lost her baby. Spoiler Alert.
>>512898646
Of Mice and Men is a far better book, no doubt, but it is a click bait title. Fair warning, if you were looking for a story with mice in it, you will be disappointed, as it isn’t at all about mice, just men.

>>512896770 (OP)
It’s about how bankers forced a migration to get Okies off oil land.

>>512896957
this

>>512898827
Unironically. Like, smart autists can...begin the labor of de-judenizing the very languages we speak, but everyone else is better served by abandoning literature altogether. If you must read, limit it to technical manuals, the drier the better. Also this pit of a website, to train critical thinking.

>>512896770 (OP)
lmao
doin dis

>>512898950
Recommend some works of his superior contemporaries

>>512896770 (OP)
>Is it political propaganda
No, its a message, the cops are on the payroll of big business (agriculture and banks).

>>512899182
No, that was The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.

>>512899545
Someone only read the Cliff Notes, lol. The real message was clear that women should let grown men drunk their breast milk when they are lactating.

>>512899365
You’re so fucking retarded it’s impressive, I bet you voted for Zion Don

>>512896770 (OP)
It's probably the only American movel worth reading

>>512899182

This 100%

I know Fonda was a bolshevik, so I generally avoid material involving him

If I did, I'd be a national socialist

>>512900234
How much are you selling it for ?

>>512900751
Not sure yet. I have to get it valued. Mine is printed in Palatine German-Pennsylvania Dutch and that last shop I took it too told me it was worthless. That is when I started digging to see what I had. fuck that jew owner

>>512899127
but tell me about the rabbits George

Great story. Pacing is great. Awesome change of perspectives.

Ending is very sad

*slurrrrp*

The Grapes of Wrath is very good. East of Eden is his magnus opus though. My favorite novel ever.

Steinbeck was the foremost commenter on the suffering of the working class, like Okie farmers, during the financial predations and misery of the Great Depression. And he was old school about it. He never harped on race or gender. All gender roles in his works are traditional and reflect white working class values of the time (and pretty much nowadays too, which is a reason liberal coastal snobs think the white working class are "backward).
For those condemning Steinbeck as a socialist, well, you sound like shyster Jews because you're defending predation of white workers and their families and communities.
It's when the white working class began to die across the West, with the changes in the 80s and 90s (neoliberalism, offshoring, mass immigration to replace more expensive white workers etc.), that clown world started to emerge.

So does Lenny keep men in his pocket instead of mice, is this what you're implying, did I miss something, someone help

Did I hit a nerve, Nose?

>>512896770 (OP)
Was this the same book where a woman allows a dude to suck on her boobies at the end? If so, 10/10 absolutely would read

>>512896770 (OP)
why dont you read it and form an opinion for yourself? fucking romanian gypsy nigger piece of shit

if you're a temporarily embarrassed billionaire you might not appreciate it

>>512899365
what a retarded soulless way to think about the world. white people created the best art and youre just gonna throw it aside for some productivity meme mindset. you are a spiritual slave and you dont even realize it.
>heh im just gonna read "technical manuals" so i can learn how to work the field more efficiently for my master
pathetic

Very overrated novel and novelist

>>512903719
>my wall of text is bigger and jewier than yours

Grapes of Wrath are a weapon you can use in neopets

You should go and visit a proctologist because your hemorrhoids problem sounds pretty bad.

You like entertainment, OP? What are your favorite thing to watch? A lot of drama caused by the inevitable heartbreaks of life or are you just getting numb in front of TV while the real world happens outside?

>>512898765
Blood meridian, 1984, brave new world, lord of the flys

>>512903719
Would you be willing to share some more exceptional White authors? I'm intrigued, I always assumed most novels, especially 20th century novels, were pozzed

>>512898847
Genetic fallacy.
Don't disregard things based on their source. Learn to evaluate things based on their own merits. That's how you grow as a person.

>>512899131
Lenny kills his pet mouse at the start of the book i think by petting it to hard.

>>512899182
>bankers forced a migration to get Okies off oil land.
and the Okies themselves PAID for it
thanks FDR

>>512896770 (OP)
i never read it and they will never make me read it

Someone post great works of literature and authors worth reading

>>512908339
just go to /lit/

>>512899131
It's a reference to a Robert Burns poem, pseud. The line is:
>the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry
But he wrote it in Scots, to be fair

>>512909216
/lit/ is gay

>>512910594

>>512896957
>>512897627
Steinbeck would be proud

Its an incredibly well written addictive book, regardless of politics.
