The final novel of one of Americaâs most beloved writersâ"a tale of degeneration, corruption, and spiritual crisis In awarding John Steinbeck the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature, the Nobel committee stated that with The Winter of Our Discontent, he had âresumed his position as an independent expounder of the truth, with an unbiased instinct for what is genuinely American.â Ethan Allen Hawley, the protagonist of Steinbeckâs last novel, works as a clerk in a grocery store that his family once owned. With Ethan no longer a member of Long Islandâs aristocratic class, his wife is restless, and his teenage children are hungry for the tantalizing material comforts he cannot provide. Then one day, in a moment of moral crisis, Ethan decides to take a holiday from his own scrupulous standards. Set in Steinbeckâs contemporary 1960 America, the novel explores the tenuous line between private and public honesty, and today ranks alongside his most acclaimed works of penetrating insight into the American condition.
