The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights (1976) by John Steinbeck


Listen Later

S3E37 John Steinbeck’s The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights was published posthumously in 1976. Though unfinished, it is a fascinating record of a legendary American writer attempting to translate Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur into modern language. Tune in to learn all about Steinbeck’s process, his interpretation of Malory as a novelist and the mafia connection to King Arthur’s Knights.

Ash is joined today by special guests Caleb James and Spencer Church of the Drunken Pen Writing Podcast to provide an American perspective.
