Includes Author Dedication; Author's Note; Acknowledgments; Prologue; Epilogue and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates and a black-and-white photographic plate frontispiece. Also includes a tipped-in February 24, 2002 neatly cut out newspaper article entitled "Author Honored in Town Than Shunned Him" by Kim Curtis, Associated Press Writer. "This personal biography of Steinbeck the man is written from personal recollection and years of research by the friend and writer Steinbeck knew would one day be his biographer. So, rather than another critical treatise on Steinbeck's work, this is a kaleidoscopic view of the flesh and blood Steinbeck. The book emphasizes Steinbeck's formative years: his Tom Sawyer boyhood in Salinas; his experiences as farmhand, seaman, road-gang flunkie, hod carrier and dam builder; his rip-roaring pursuit of the traditional wine, women and song. These California years, which shaped the life and work of the Nobel prize winning author, come to life in this book which follows Steinbeck's career through his most productive period and the years of his finest work." - from the rear outer jacket. "LIke the heroes of the Arthurian legends he loved from childhood, John Steinbeck's life was a quest: for truth, for love and, most of all, to right wrongs. In the process he became a legendary figure himself, a folk hero many of whose exploits were exaggerated or simply invented. This was due, in part, to his desire for privacy; in part to his occasionally indulged mischievous impulses to give reporters "a good story." Perhaps these are the reasons why there have been numerous critiques of Steinbeck's work but, up to now, no intimate study of the man himself. Nelson Valjean - a friend of John Steinbeck, his family and limited circle of intimate friends from the earliest days in Salinas, California - is one of the few writers able to compile a definitive Steinbeck biography. From his personal recollections emerges the story of John Steinbeck's formative and mosts productive period: the California years. It is filled with revealing anecdotes of escapades in Salinas during an idyllic small-town, Tom Sawyer boyhood; inconclusive college days at Stanford; his search for himself through years of drifting as farmhand, seaman, mill-worker, construction worker; and always his insuppressible need to communicate the secret, private portion of his being through writing. Many of the characters, places and experiences presented so factually and graphically in this book appear in Steinbeck's books and plays; the pony he loved, the hills he roamed, the paisanos he drank with and, of course, Ed Ricketts, the biologist-philosopher of Cannery Row. Unlike Nelson Valjean, few of us were privileged to be an intimate of the most human of Nobel prize winners. Yet, through Valjean's vivid portrait (enhanced by photographs from the Steinbeck family and friends) we can share an appreciation of a man as lusty and warm-blooded as any of the unforgettable characters - Lennie, the Joads, "Doc" - who will live forever in Steinbeck's works." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
