Literary Baddies Book Club
To wrap up our summer, Literary Baddies are turning to the ultimate exploration of good and evil – East of Eden. by John Steinbeck.
East of Eden acts as a modern retelling of Cain and Abel, exploring sibling rivalries, the nature of morality, and the power of human choice. Set in California's Salina Valley, the story follows the intertwined lives of the Trask and Hamilton families across multiple generations.
We will be examining the book through the lens of good and evil, as Steinbeck treats morality and villainy as a matter of personal agency. Touching on themes of family rejection, the power of will, and the innateness of human nature, we will discuss whether any of it is actually fixed, or whether we are, as Steinbeck believed, always choosing.
Later in autumn, we will tune in to the new Netflix TV adaptation.
Anyone is welcome regardless of finishing the book but beware of spoilers!
