- Verklaringen
- aulsmith : A good read? Not really. There's lots of fine writing coupled with Steinbeck's usual misogyny and a group of very dark characters. I still think most of Steinbeck is worth plowing through, but this one isn't for sitting and enjoying.

- Verklaringen
- aulsmith : Hugo was paid by the word and this work meanders shamelessly whenever he needed extra money. The digressions are interesting, but I kept losing track of the plot and gave up.
