MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History April 14, 1935: The Black Sunday dust storm swept across the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles. This was one of the worst storms of the Dust Bowl. 4 years later, on this same date, John Steinbeck published his classic working-class novel, The Grapes of Wrath, about Dust Bowl refugees in California.

This adaptation of #JohnSteinbeck's #OfMiceAndMen with #LonChaney & #BurgessMeredeth was a favorite of mine when I was young + rewatching it now, it did not disappoint. Nominated for 4 #Oscars

Trevor BurrowsFinished *The Pearl* this morning. Loved it, and was especially smitten with his adventures in leitmotif: music of the pearl, music of the family, music of evil.
Replace the pearl with a ring and it has me thinking about Das Rheingold. Steinbeck used music a lot in *Cannery Row*, too, esp. classical references.
My first reading was ages ago. Definitely didn't remember that.
Apparently you can see the Steinbeck's personal music collection at the link, which is cool. Very eclectic! No Ring cycle in sight though. 😆
