John Steinbeck

"The book Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck noted in the journal that he kept alongside the novel, would be composed 'in a musical technique.' He would try to use ‘the forms and the mathematics of music rather than those of prose.' It would be 'symphonic,' he said, 'in composition, in movement, in tone and scope.' "
