banquet speech
john steinbeck"s speech at the nobel banquet at the city hall in stockholm, december 10, 1962
i thank the swedish academy for finding my work worthy of this highest honor.
in my heart there may be doubt that i deserve the nobel award over other men of letters whom i hold in respect and reverence - but there is no question of my pleasure and pride in having it for myself.
it is customary for the recipient of this award to offer personal or scholarly comment on the nature and the direction of literature. at this particular time, however, i think it would be well to consider the high duties and the responsibilities of the makers of literature.
