“Time is more complex near the sea than in any other place, for in addition to the circling of the sun and the turning of the seasons, the waves beat out the passage of time on the rocks and the tides rise and fall as a great clepsydra.”

JOMP July 15 - Could Not Put It Down

When I was in college there was a night when I had a paper due and probably other reading as well and I needed a break from my roommate and I found Tortilla Flat at the library and started reading it.  I ended up staying up all night in a secluded space at the bottom of the dorm stairwell, reading the entire book.  Sometimes the need to escape is overwhelming.

Steinbeck on Stage and Screen

There’s an actor and an opera star I could be writing about this morning, but I just can’t get myself worked up about them, whereas there’s much more to be said on the topic of John Steinbeck (1902-1968). My existing Steinbeck post from a decade ago is one of my most popular — my #6 most-read Travalanche post out of over 8,000. On the other hand, it is very targeted, it’s essentially just Tom’s…

National Steinbeck Center celebrates a famous American icon

I am a shameless bibliophile and John Steinbeck is one of my favorite American authors. His books, specifically Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath, were required reading when I was in school. They served as my introduction to the famed writer’s oeuvre and I went on to devour everything I could find by him in my local library.  Steinbeck drew me into the worlds he created and the vivid…
