“I had read this book thirty years ago....I do not remember names of characters, except that there is a fat big guy and a thin normal guy, the fat being an imbecile. Friendship between them really moves you...They become fugitives when the foolish guy does some crime.. At the end I think the friend himself had to shoot him. It is a very small book you can finish in one sitting..But Steinbeck works somewhere on your conscience.. and you never forget incidents like this: In a temporary hideout, the small guy opens a can of boiled beans to share between them.. and the fat guy says, "I want ketchup". Just think of the intervening thirty years between me and the book.. Read it.. I would like to read it once more..”
