Banning the Grapes of Wrath from Cornell University. "A month after The Grapes of Wrath was published in April 1939, it stood as the No. 1 best seller in the United States and sold 429,000 copies in a year . . . Detractors accused the author of everything from harboring communist sympathies to exaggeration of the conditions in migrant camps. California growers felt that Steinbeck had not accurately portrayed their efforts to help the migrant workers and denounced the book as 'a damnable lie, a black infernal creation of a twisted, distorted mind.' In Kern County, California, where part of the novel was set, the board of supervisors voted on August 21, 1939 to ban the book from the county's libraries and schools. A copy of the book was burned . . . The Grapes of Wrath remained banned in Kern County until January 1941."
The Big Read: The Grapes of Wrath - Preface from the National Endowment for the Arts. "John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath is not merely a great American novel.

The History Page: The Fire of Tom Joad: A novelist’s masterwork ignites passions and book burnings, by Rose Lichter-Marck, January 12, 2012. "Steinbeck . . . found the suffering of others a fascinating and fertile subject. Energized, he wrote 'The Grapes of Wrath' in five months. 'This is a rough book, because a revolution is going on,' he said, rather portentously. In 1939, these were highly inflammatory words. The values systems advocated by communism and socialism were decried in some quarters as treasonous, a threat to capitalism and the American way of life . . ."
"The Senate subsequently had convened hearings on the treatment of migrants, and unions used the book to gather support. The ban itself had inspired the drafting of the Library Bill of Rights, which would guarantee the right to privately access material, regardless of content. Steinbeck’s truth had not only survived — it had changed history."

"After another visit to the migrant camps for research, Steinbeck finally mapped the novel's course and gave himself a schedule of 100 days in which to finish it. His wife at the time, Carol, came up with the title -- from the lyrics of 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic' ('Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored ...') -- and typed up the manuscript as he wrote. What emerged became an instant hit."
