As a writer who, beginning in the 1930s, gave voice to the ordinary man and woman, Steinbeck came to be the conscience of America.

Reviews for Beyond Boundaries
This book takes Steinbeck criticism beyond the frozen boundaries of the past and pushes out over boundaries in many different directions. It shows Steinbeck as an explorer of form and a far more profound thinker than he has been credited to be. It refutes the clichés of criticism and takes us into new territory."" —Jackson J.
