Born in Salinas, California, Steinbeck attended Stanford University for
six years, but never completed his degree. In 1925 he moved to New York City,
where he was employed as a bricklayer and reporter. In 1927 after returning
to California Steinbeck began his career as a novelist. By the late 1930s,
Steinbeck earned both critical recognition and popular success for his populist
novels, including Tortilla Flat (1935), In Dubious Battle (1936),
Of Mice and Men (1937) and Grapes of Wrath (1939).
Steinbeck worked as a World War II correspondent in Italy and Northern
Africa for the New York Herald Tribune. After the the he returned to his
novels and his later work East of Eden (1952) and the crosscountry
travel diary Travels with Charley (1962) were popular but never received
the critical acclaim of the 1930's.. In 1962, he received the Nobel Prize for
literature "for his realistic as well as imaginative writings, distinguished
by a sympathetic humor and keen social perception."
Although the Pulitzer Prize
winning author was never the subject of an FBI investigation, his name came to
the FBI's attention on several occasions during the 1940's as a result of his
association with communist front groups
