{{cite book}}: |work= ignored (help) Writer Richard Rodriguez discussed The Grapes of Wrath as The Great American Novel: "There hasn't been anything like this novel since it was written. And this is the great American novel that everyone keeps waiting for but it has been written now."Unbeknownst to Babb, Collins was sharing her reports with writer Steinbeck. Some of this reporting informed Steinbeck's 1936 series of articles, The Harvest Gypsies. By the time she was ready to publish her work, in the winter of 1939, Steinbeck had come out with his own Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Grapes of Wrath. Steinbeck's book was dedicated to Tom Collins and was an immediate best-seller — such a hit, New York editors told Babb, that the market could not bear another on the same subject.
