I read the book and then watched the movie. It seems like Steinbeck added paragraphs that freely mentioned the word *nagger* that had nothing to do with the storyline and added nothing to the plot. There was a part where Al mentioned that he knew a girl (white) who delivered a black baby. It had nothing to do with the story line at all.

and yes! It had everything to do with the story line!

Your head will explode when you find out about other works like To Kill a Mockingbird and Catcher in the Rye.
shareSteinbeck was actually accused of that for his novel Tortilla Flat which was about a group of “paisanos” of Mexican-Indian-Spanish-Caucasian descent. It bothered him because he was actually fond of those people.
