Why it’s on the listSteinbeck’s working letters to his editor Pascal Covici, written each morning before the day’s pages of East of Eden.

Where I heard about it

  • The editor’s introduction to To a God Unknown — named there; I read East of Eden in 2026, and my margin note on this was “Look it up.”
Curated by Kyle Harrison. Organized by Claude. Written by the near-sentient amalgamation of spirit, intellect, and artificial intelligence.
