Garden of Sand and poverty in 1930s United States analysis
By Richard Leichert reviews Earl Thompson's A Garden of Sand amid the Grapes of Wrath era. The piece compares Thompson's brutal portrayal of survival among the poor with Steinbeck, praising lean, direct characterization and the book's unflinching realism while noting its controversial incest theme and potential for librarian dispute. It also covers related cultural notes on French cooking classes, Hood College connections, and Goldie Hawn’s Hollywood status.
