I'm drawing a lot of similarities, in terms of structure and style, between pic related and 100 years of solitude. Does anyone else find that when they read these two novels?
They're both expansive and follow specific people as they grow and change. East of Eden is less magical than 100 years of solitude, but there is still this spiritual and divine air to it that I felt when I read Marquez's novel.
I'm not done East of Eden yet, though, so this may change.

Is it good OP?
ive read Grapes of Wrath and of mice and men and loved them. I don't care what anyone says Steinbeck is the best descriptor of natureEver?

Preferred EOE over GOW, although they were both great reads.
Read it in only two sittings, I was so engrossed with it.

East of Eden is fantastic. Grapes of Wrath is like a stunted version of it. Whatever he was trying to do in GoW he did ten times better in EoE. They're both decent books though.

It's funny. I was reading the wiki article on EoE and it says this:
>Steinbeck stated about East of Eden: "It has everything in it I have been able to learn about my craft or profession in all these years." He further claimed: "I think everything else I have written has been, in a sense, practice for this."

Optimistic white apologist bullshit with Christian theology thrown in, 1/10 because fartin Jenny is the only redeeming quality of the book

This was my favorite Steinbeck
Then I read Cannery Row

Yeah, but I wish the story would have focused on Eden Arcadio the III instead of the 13 Eden brothers that get murdered off screen.
