Steinbeck tells a number of first rate stories in his history of Danny's house. It was also adapted into a 1942 film, starring Spencer Tracy and Hedy Lamarr. Tortilla Flat was the first book Steinbeck wrote that received both warm reviews and good sales and was referenced by the Swedish Academy when Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962. The book was modeled on the Arthurian legends of knights of Camelot, a story that had seized Steinbeck's imagination since he had been a child. Steinbeck's vivid and joyous portrayal of the residents of Tortilla Flat, set in Monterey, California. Reviews arent verified, but Google checks for and removes fake.
