John Steinbeck's Tortilla Flat
Katlin Wilson
A.P. Literature
Essay A. John Steinbeck was born in 1902 in Salinas, California. The region of Salinas later became the setting of many of his stories, including Of Mice and Men. When he was a teenager he spent many summers workings as a ranch-hand on neighboring ranches. He went to Stanford University in 1919 and left without earning his degree. He later finished his first novel, Cup of Gold which was an adventurous story that was published in 1926. Success came to Steinbeck when he wrote his novel Tortilla Flat which was published in 1935. Most of Steinbeck’s work deals with the journey of the desperately poor California wanders. He wrote three more novels that dealt with the California wanders, Dubious Battle in 1936,
