"Above the town of Monterey on the California coast lies the shabby district of Tortilla Flat, inhabited by a colorful gang whose revels recall the exploits of King Arthur's knights.

(Plover Library)

John Steinbeck   VC-4155

Shows John Steinbeck as more than a realist chronicler of the Great Depression. His rich fantasy life and fascination with Arthurian tales provide another dimension to his work. Drawing on archival photographs and film, as well as specially shot footage in the locations he made famous - the Salinas Valley, Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur - sets his writings and his life in perspective, providing a new interpretation of Steinbeck's work.
