5.0�toiles sur 5 The heart and soul of California, Mars 7 2004

Par	kkrome25 "kkrome25" (California, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: 20th Century Long Valley (Paperback)

All of the short stories are unforgettable. My favorite is Johnny Bear, which is almost Hitchcock in its eerieness and structure. Get this in hardback. Definitely a keeper for one's library.

Par	Jack Purcell (Placitas, NM USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: 20th Century Long Valley (Paperback)

I'd have to give this one a slightly lower cheer than the other of the pair if I was forced to see the two as separate works. Pastures of Heaven and The Long Valley are a matched set in the Steinbeck library. The two should probably be included together as a single work. It's difficult to separate the two books because they overlap so. With a writer of the Steinbeck sort a reader might experience difficulty declaring, "This is my favorite." I agree completely. However, if John Steinbeck had never written Of Mice and Men, Tortilla Flat, Cannery Row, Sweet Thursday, and Travels with Charlie, I'd probably have to say Pastures of Heaven and The Long Valley are my favorites.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Excellent Short Stories -- And At Least One Is True, Juil 17 2003

Par	J. Reynolds (Houston, TX United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: 20th Century Long Valley (Paperback)

Of the story The Snake, another reviewer wrote that it was "a revelation..sure the symolism is almost Victorian, but the eerie combination of perfectly observed rituals of nature and the almost primeval sexual hunger of the woman to see the mice being eaten was incredibly subversive and unexpected in a setting of such clinical austerity..it was almost Hitchcockian in its perversity."

Fact is, according to Steinbeck in "About Ed Ricketts," that incident occurred almost exactly as described -- and all the author had to do was write it down.
