Just think of him a the Nick Jonas of literature in the first half of the 20th century!. In 1962, Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize for Literature for his “realistic and imaginative writing, combining as it does sympathetic humor and keen social perception!.” Privately, he felt he did not deserve the honor!. In his acceptance speech, he said:

"the writer is delegated to declare and to celebrate man's proven capacity for greatness of heart and spirit—for gallantry in defeat, for courage, compassion and love!. In the endless war against weakness and despair, these are the bright rally flags of hope and of emulation!. I hold that a writer who does not believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature!."
