Query: Not What I Was Looking For

There was far too much analysis of Steinbeck's novels... and not enough about the man. The author seems to have appropriated a great deal of his material from "Steinbeck: A Life In Letters," which I just read. It was that particular book that left me wanting for more, hoping to fill in some of the blanks. This book did a little bit, but really I did not gain much insight into John Steinbeck. Disappointing.
