Answer The Grapes of Wrath
The Grapes of Wrath was not Steinbeck's favorite book. In fact, the field notes for the book weren't even for him; they were initially intended as research for someone else's book. But it did make an impression on none other than Joseph Stalin, who banned The Grapes of Wrath in the Soviet Union. Why? Because it revealed that cars were affordable even for the poorest of Americans.
