13:44Now PlayingThe late John Steinbeck’s literature is not just a critical part of the American literary canon, but intrinsic to American identity itself. With every deeply relatable, ordinary protagonist, Steinbeck was able to saliently and critically capture the difficult realities of this nation. Told in Steinbeck’s trademark empathic, colloquial, and observational style, ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ is a story of strength, suffering, family, injustice, humanity, and hope in the face of ecological disasters, discrimination, and poverty. Author Emily Danforth (‘Miseducation of Cameron Post’) and Bruce Robbins, literary scholar, author, and Columbia University professor, join Ali to discuss the American classic that “keeps generating new meanings.”
