Thanks Kathryn. It's quite a story. And true.
I'm curious how you know about the story. Not many people do. Thanks for the good wishes.
This, no doubt, would be a fascinating film!
I'd love to see a movie about Steinbeck. Best of luck with it!

It gets better. Campbell and John's wife Carol have an affair that nearly derailed Steinbeck's career before it started. It's Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot with Ed "Doc" Ricketts playing Merlin and the paisanos of Monterey forming the Round Table. It's Rick, Ilsa, and Viktor, with "Doc" channeling Renault. It's a classic love triangle.
Congratulations, Ken, good luck with the read!
Thanks for the best wishes Emma.
YES!
Way to go, Ken. Congratulations! Wishing you all the best.

Thanks Mike. At it's heart, it's really a love story that involves some well-known people. It was fun to get to know Campbell, Steinbeck, and Ricketts a bit more. Fascinating people. And all set in Monterey, California. Pretty tough to beat.

It is. Who would have thought that these two would have ever crossed paths. But, they did, and they remained in touch most of the rest of their lives.
