<\/a>For 11\/17 and 11\/19 we’ll focus on John Steinbeck\u2019s compact, charming account of a cross-country road trip in a converted pickup truck camper named Rocinante, accompanied by his French poodle Charley. The trip was taken in the fall of 1960. Along the way, we\u2019ll talk about what Steinbeck hoped to learn and what he actually did (or didn\u2019t) learn from his travels about himself and his country… and compare his writing style, narrative journey, and degree of realism (fiction? nonfiction? memoir?) in the text to both On the Road<\/em> and Hell’s Angels<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Tues 11\/17<\/strong> Reading: Parts One and Two<\/p>\n
