Steinbeck believed that his "short works" were his best. Basically, he believed that his long works, i.e., The Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden, said less than his short works.

Also, John Steinbeck began writing short stories at Stanford, and some would claim that his short stories were the most well crafted of all his literary endeavors.
