On tonight's podcast, we'll be looking at a letter written in 1958 by John Steinbeck to his son Thom.
In it, Steinbeck, the author of the seminal book of American literature -- The Grapes of Wrath -- offers advice to his son on falling in love.
It's beautiful, both in it's simplicity and it's completeness.
It's a documentarians description of love, one that still manages to hold onto it's poetic core.
It's also one of my favorites.
I hope you enjoy.
