Controversy Surrounding Steinbeck’s work: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],In 1936, Steinbeck stated:  “For too long, the language of books was different from the language of men.  To the men I write about, profanity is adornment and ornament and is NEVER vulgar and I try to write it so.” He does NOT do it for shock value, or effect, or to garner audience.  It’s written that way because that was the reality of the situation at the time.
