"Profound, sympathetic, often angry . . . an honest moving book by one of our great writers." –The San Francisco Examiner

"This is superior Steinbeck–a muscular, evocative report of a journey of rediscovery." –John Barkham, Saturday Review Syndicate

"The eager, sensuous pages in which he writes about what he found and whom he encountered frame a picture of our human nature in the twentieth century which will not soon be surpassed." –Edward Weeks, The Atlantic Monthly
