I read East of Eden by John Steinbeck 2 years ago and no book since has matched up to it.
Things I loved about East of Eden:
– The sibling relationship and the parallels to the Bible
-
Cal Trask’s character and his development – especially his self-sabotaging tendencies.
-
a bit niche as I haven’t seen others talk about it, but the wonderful prose and beautiful language he would use, followed by hard-hitting simplistic lines. Somehow the juxtaposition made it seem more impactful
All book recommendations appreciated!!
