I can't think of a single Steinbeck work that wasn't depressing. Not one of them has the slightest sense of hope or redemption. You ever read his non-fiction classic Travels with Charley? That is one of my favorites, and I never found that depressing at all. As for the rest of his stuff...yeah, I agree.

Ni I never read “Travels with Charley”, I was so turned off by his fiction that I never had an inclination to read anything else by him.
