Abstract

In her English 167 Steinbeck class, Susan Shillinglaw assigned a Steinbeck notebook, where students wrote fifteen or so short essays and reflective pieces: on Steinbeck biographies, on criticism, on letters, on films, on the Long Valley Ledger. First presented at an international Steinbeck conference, three of these reflective pieces are included here.
