A letter from John Steinbeck to Marilyn Monroe

Lostpoet · M

How do we know that's not little Jon pretending to be his uncle John so that he can get a risque photograph of Marilyn Monroe 🧐

But I loved this either way.

I love Steinbeck! Have you read the East Of Eden Letters which he wrote to his editor Pascal Covici as he was working on the novel? Brilliant stuff.

Ha ha ha!
It's easy to see why Steinbeck was so lauded as a writer,
so much depth of perception, wit and nous.
Thank you for sharing it.

I'd be curious to know more about you, Dr Watson.

No wonder he won Nobel prize for literature. I am sure this request was honored.

I really enjoyed reading that...thank you for sharing it. Disappointing though, that Marilyn never got around to granting the request of such a charming and amusing letter.

I'm a huge MM fan, not so much the attress, but the poet and book lover that few realize, so I love this!✨

From the 2nd paragraph on, damn he covered all the bases and oh so comedic!🤭🤭

John Steinbeck was a great writer. Hemmingway was "the man" in his day though!
