Tortilla Flat seems pretty happy or uplifting until the end. Maybe I'll go with that one.

LOL...until the end...LOL Have you ever read Journal of a Novel? I like it the best of everything of his that I've read.

Did Steinbeck write anything with a happy ending or a moment of happiness in it? just checking before I sample. Life can't all be unhappy.

Hi Barb! Um.....I agree that life can't be all unhappy, but I'm not sure if Steinbeck would agree with us. I could be wrong. Maybe someone else knows of some uplifting material from the literary master.

I will look for Journal of a Novel. Sometimes I like essays better than fiction.
