The Winter of Our Discontent
Ethan Allen Hawley, whose family once sent whaling ships out of a Long Island harbour town, clerks in the grocery his father lost and takes his humiliations pleasantly. Over one spring his wife, his children, his employer and a childhood friend each show him what money would fix, and he begins assembling something he need not call a plan. The last novel Steinbeck published, and the one the Nobel citation of the following year leaned on hardest.
