John Steinbeck's books are often set in California during the Great Depression, depicting the struggles of migrant workers and their families. Steinbeck's settings often reflect the social and economic conditions of the time, with a focus on rural communities and the impact of industrialization.

Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California. This area had a major influence in his early formative years. Thus, when he started to write, his stories were mostly set in the California area which includes Salinas and the Salinas Valley, Monterey, and parts of the nearby San Joaquin Valley. Today this area is sometimes referred to as "Steinbeck Country".

Steinbeck got his ideas from his own experiences. For example, he worked on ranches with migrant farm workers and witnessed his boss be killed by a disturbed man.
