The Grapes of Wrath (one of my top favorite books) was published on this date in 1939.

"I want to put a tag of shame on the greedy bastards who are responsible for this [the
Great Depression and its effects."
- John Steinbeck about The Grapes of Wrath

No, You're wrong there--quite wrong there. The bank is something else than men. It
happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and yet the bank does it.
The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It's the monster. Men made it,
but they can't control it."
-- John Steinbeck from The Grapes of Wrath
