LOS ANGELES - A handwritten draft of John Steinbeck's novel "Sweet Thursday," along with an unpublished story and other works, will be auctioned by a writer who says they were sitting in a closet for 50 years.
In spite of myriad other Steinbeck-penned words, phrases and indeed entire novels that I have read and supposedly absorbed, this sentence is the sum total of what managed to stick in this rattling brain pan of mine.
That's pretty sweet about the posthumous new material. Neat trick, publishing from the great beyond (but who gets the royalties!?).
