John Steinbeck’s “Tortilla Flat” was published in New York in 1935. It tells of Danny, his friends and his house, which, as the author says on the very first page, was like the legend of the Round Table. MGM filmed it in 1942 with Spencer Tracy and Hedy Lamarr. Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize in 1962.<\/p>\n
