In America, a Writer Is Less than a Clown and More than a Tramp

Summary/Abstract: The paper is an attempt at unfolding the structure of the iconic representations of America as expressed from various angles in John Steinbeck’s works, and the way they were channeled and perceived in Romania and its political milieu of the Cold War years, through the lens of the cultural press, written both in Romanian and Hungarian. The paper deals with the translations of Steinbeck’s works in the two languages, with the writer’s confessions and opinions, especially those regarding his fellow Americans, as ell as with the critical comments with regard to the multi-faceted reality approached by the author.
