Adopting the composition and topics of the Arthurian legend, Steinbeck created a Camelot on the shabby hillside above the city of Monterey, California, and peopled it with a colourful band of knights. At the center of the story is Danny, whose house, like Arthur's castle, becomes a gathering place for men looking for excursion, camaraderie, and a feeling of belonging-men who fiercely avoid the corrupting tide of honest toil and civil rectitude. As Steinbeck chronicles their deeds-their multiple addicts, their wonderful brawls, their Rabelaisian wine-drinking-he spins a tale as compelling and eventually as handled by sorrow as the famous legends of the Circular Table, which influenced him.
