This is EXACTLY where I stand on the matter. Steinbeck's gaze never lingers that much on characters' appearance like he does on Cathy's, talking for paragraphs about it, particularly when Adam goes to see her the first time.
East of Eden was the first time I saw Joseph Zada act (I’m not watching that show where he has blue hair so don’t recommend it). Pleased to see he’s a good actor
as a fellow East of Eden book enjoyer, i am sad there is no Dessie,Tom and other Hamiltons in the show, but as a perverted woman i am quite pleased bcs at least i got to see more of charles trask's pretty face
