Summary: Superb!
Comment: If you enjoyed The Grapes of Wrath, you will enjoy this companion.

Even though the author is a professor from a university in Kansas, and even though he has filled this book with facts, it's easily readable in a sort of journalistic style.

The Grapes of Wratch is discussed in themed chapters that need not be read sequentially. They include: the novel as literature, reaction to the novel in California, in Oklahoma, war-torn Europe, and throughout the USA; the author's dedication to the plight of the Okies that preceded and followed The Grapes of Wrath, local, state & federal government reaction, the movie, Hollywood's reaction to the movie, natural history of Dust Bowl from perspective of geologic time (did you know, the Dust Bowl was NOT caused by overfarming: there's a geologic record that the Dust Bowl phenomenon is a regular occurance. Conservation-minded farming methods can lessen its impact, but cannot prevent a Dust Bowl).

A caution: if you haven't already read The Grapes of Wrath, this book may be difficult to follow.
