Enjoyable and easy to read, but I found this work-diary of Steinbeck to be rather less informative than I had hoped and imagined it would be.

His obvious lack of confidence in his own talents meant that he was constantly unsure if "Grapes" would be a good book, but there was little revealed as to his creative process. How did he create his characters? Why did he use certain plot devices? Where did his inspirations come from?

"Working Days" is interesting, but don't be fooled into thinking you are going to get an insight into the genesis of a great novel.
