With Steinbeck in the Sea of Cortez

Sparky Enea, one of the original seven crew members from Steinbeck's Sea of Cortez expedition, wrote this memoire near the end of his life. This short anecdotal book presents the side of the story that Steinbeck did not include in his log. Sparky covers the drinking, camerederie, and apparently frequent visits to the portside brothels. It also covers the sexual tension caused by the lone female passenger, Carol, Steinbeck's then wife. Readers of Steinbeck's log will note that Carol is not even mentioned in Steinbeck's account.This book is a must read for people interested in Steinbeck's log, as it gives a different perspective on the partially fictionalized Steinbeck/Ricket's Log from the Sea of Cortez.
