    Hey everyone,

    Yesterday in my Lit class we were talking about the Modernist movement in Literature, and we were asked to discuss our favourite Modernist author, if we have one.

    I think the Modernist era spans from around 1900-1950ish, give or take a few years.

    I think that my personal favourite Modernist author would have to be John Steinbeck. I've read 'Of Mice & Men' a few times for school, loved it every single time, read a little bit of 'Grapes of Wrath' and I've just started 'East of Eden' today. I love it.

    Who's your favourite Modernist author?
