because he was such an interesting man that he just went around doing awesome things like collecting marine biology specimens in the Sea of Cortez. It's based in fable: Steinbeck first heard the legend of the pearl while he was collecting marine biology specimens in the Sea of Cortez in 1940. This slim novel was penned by a genius and all-around Renaissance man named John Steinbeck. But we can't say we'll mourn the fact that you'll be forever bummed out when thinking about colonialism on the Baja Peninsula and, well, everywhere else. Hopefully, you'll come back around to liking pearls. A word of warning: this novel is about to make you think way less of those beautiful luminescent balls of sand and oyster spit that Vermeer liked his models to wear.Ī second word of warning: this novel will make you hate (and we mean loathe) the colonial history of the Americas.
