{"product_id":"journal-of-a-novel-the-east-of-eden-letters","title":"Journal of a Novel: The East of Eden Letters","description":"Each working day from January 29 to November 1, 1951, John Steinbeck warmed up to the work of writing East of Eden with a letter to the late Pascal Covici, his friend and editor at The Viking Press. It was his way, he said, of \"getting my mental arm in shape to pitch a good game.\"\n\nSteinbeck's letters were written on the left-hand pages of a notebook in which the facing pages would be filled with the test of East of Eden. They touched on many subjects—story arguments, trial flights of workmanship, concern for his sons.\nPart autobiography, part writer's workshop, these letters offer an illuminating perspective on Steinbeck's creative process, and a fascinating glimpse of Steinbeck, the private man.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0140144188\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0140144188.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Steinbeck, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
