John Steinbeck is perhaps most well known for writing the short novel "Of Mice And Men." During World War II, Steinbeck served as a war correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune. In 1962, Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize for Literature for his "realistic and imaginative writing, combining as it does sympathetic humor and keen social perception." Amongst other books, his other major works included "The Grapes of Wrath," "East of Eden," and "Travels With Charley." In all, he wrote twenty-five books, including sixteen novels, six non-fiction books, and several collections of short stories. Four of these books where not published until after his death.
