Washington Post, by Jonathan Yardley - why do adults continue to read Steinbeck in such numbers? Four decades after his death, his books are cash cows for his publisher; he is to Viking Penguin what Khalil Gibran is to Knopf, an endless source of revenue, some of which presumably underwrites riskier books of a more literary nature. From “Cup of Gold” (1929) to “America and Americans” (1967), Steinbeck’s books remain in print, along with various posthumous volumes of letters, collected miscellany and so forth.
