The Red Pony

Written at a time of profound anxiety caused by the illness of his mother, Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck draws on his memories of childhood in these stories about a boy who embodies both the rebellious spirit and the contradictory desire for acceptance of early adolescence. Unlike most coming-of-age stories, the cycle does not end with a hero “matured? by circumstances. As John Seelye writes in his introduction, reversing common interpretations, The Red Ponyis imbued with a sense of loss. Jody?s encounters with birth and death express a common theme in Steinbeck?s fiction: They are parts of the ongoing process of life, “resolving? nothing. The Red Pony was central not only to Steinbeck?s emergence as a major American novelist but to the shaping of a distinctly mid twentieth-century genre, opening up a new range of possibilities about the fictional presence of a child?s world.

This edition contains an introduction by John Seelye.
