Examining both the fiction and non-fiction works from a Darwinian viewpoint, Dr. Railsback demonstrates Steinbeck's careful dramatization of the human as animal.

A little bit too biological for my needs, but the book is a decent jumping off point to locate Social Darwinism in Steinbeck's works. I enjoyed the anecdotes of Steinbeck's life, how critics received and still receive Steinbeck (spoiler: people still hate him), and the little flashes of hope that burn through the book.
