Henry Fonda???? Really??? You can't do better than mistakenly giving credit to a Hollywood actor?

The Grapes of Wrath is an American realist novel written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939. The book won the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for fiction, and it was cited prominently when Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize in 1962.
