Audience: General/trade. In 1960, near age 60, Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck set out in his pick-up truck mounted with a camper to travel the length and breadth of America. He was accompanied by his French poodle Charley. Among the stories that emerged: a hurricane in New York, sharing cognac with migrant farm workers in Maine, visiting old friends in California, attending a witches' sabbath in New Orleans. Some experiences stirred his anger; some made him proud. Portions of text appeared serially in Holiday Magazine, titled "In Quest of America". Steinbeck's 17th title published by Bantam.
