Revisiting "Travels with Charley" today with the perspective of a 40 year old man is quite a departure from the perspective of the child that first discovered it. One thing remains the same; Steinbeck was one of the great masters of literature.
wow..it would be my dream to send him a letter, for him personally to answer some of the questions, but he is dead, and has been for a long time now..how sad, sounds like a great man, a very talented one
I sat with David Ward & Mike Phillips in the MGM offices in 1980. I tried to convince them that Uclulet B.C. was a much better place to film Cannery Row than the "lost cause" of Monterey or a LA film lot. I try to speak for Mack and the boys and Darlin' too! They even had the audacity to show me the will. I know how much Ed Ricketts meant to John and how he felt.

Travels with Charley is my favorite Steinbeck book....maybe the most honest. Writers like he are missed.
