Title: The Red Pony Author: John Steinbeck Narrator: Frank Muller Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 54 minutes Release date: June 15, 2011 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.47 of Total 19 Ratings of Narrator: 4.67 of Total 3 Genres: Coming of Age Publisher's Summary: John Steinbeck's masterpiece celebrates the spirit and courage of adolescence. 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. Reversing common interpretations, The Red Pony is 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.
