Sin perder su estilo, Steinbeck retrata con buen arte y con cierta socarronería la vida en los estratos más pobres.Tortilla Flat es uno de ellos.
I read this one aloud to my partner a little at a time over the course of a few weeks. It was fun, like a comedic soap opera. It's slow paced, and the characters are cute. If you liked Cannery Row you'll feel right at home with this one.
