Hello, I'm John Steinbeck, an American author born in Salinas, California, in 1902. Known for my novels that explore the struggles of the working class and the disenfranchised during the Great Depression, I aim to shed light on the human condition. Works like "The Grapes of Wrath" and "Of Mice and Men" have become classics, delving into the complexities of society, poverty, and the pursuit of the American Dream. Join me in the exploration of the human experience through the lens of literature.
