Above the town of Monterey on the California coast lies the shabby district of Tortilla Flat, inhabited by a loose gang of jobless locals of Mexican-Indian-Spanish-Caucasian descent (who typically claim pure Spanish blood).

The central character Danny inherits two houses from his grandfather where he and his friends go to live. Danny's house, and Danny's friends, Steinbeck compares to the Round Table, and the Knights of the Round Table. Most of the action is set in the time of Steinbeck's own late teenage and young adult years, shortly after World War I.

For the convention 2013

Happy convention

A Steinbeck book I had not read, well I couldn't resist it.

I did enjoy this book a lot! Danny and his friends, what a charming bunch of no-gooders! A house, sometimes money, most of the time wine - what more do you need in life?

It took me some time to realise this is the book called "Dagdrivergjengen" in Norwegian. A title I've heard about, but as I mentioned earlier, never read before now!

For the bookswapping game. Enjoy!

This was the book I received in the bookswap game at the 2017 Convention in Oslo. A great choice - looking forward to reading it!
