 Books: Green Pastures (The Boston Phoenix . 05-15-00)
Smiley went on to publish fiction that showed a fearless versatility in subject and genre, from the mystery Duplicate Keys to her recasting of King Lear in A Thousand Acres to the academic satire Moo.
Smiley's efforts to give nearly every character his or her due is admirable (especially since they number in the dozens), but sometimes you wish the parade of humanity would step aside and let the horses get to the gate more often.
Small missteps aside, Horse Heaven trots briskly along, cutting from this story to that and moving with ease from New York's Aqueduct to Paris's Longchamp to the California tracks of Del Mar, Santa Anita, and Hollywood Park.

 The Pastures of Heaven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pastures of Heaven is a book by John Steinbeck consisting of twelve interconnected stories about a valley in Monterey, California, which was discovered by a Spanish corporal while chasing runaway Indian slaves.
Enchanted by the valley's natural beauty, the corporal names it Las Pasturas del Cielo or "The Pastures of Heaven." The stories are written in classic Steinbeck style; the lives of the families that relocate to the valley are portrayed with a mixture of humor and poignance.
A recurring theme in the book is the pain caused when people try ineptly to help or to please others.

 EURYNOME : Greek Titan queen of heaven, goddess of pastures ; mythology
It is likely that Ophion and Eurynome were also equated with Ouranos (Heaven) and Gaia (Earth), the daughter of Hydros (Water) (in the Orphic Theogony).
It was Ouranos that Kronos "wrestled" for the throne in mainstream myth.
Even as a pair of goddesses, Tethys should stand in place of Thetis, who is out of place on the shores of the river Okeanos, while Eurynome is present as the mother of Hephaistos' future bride the Kharis Aglaia.

 The Green Pastures Summary & Essays - Marc Connelly
The Green Pastures, the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Marc Connelly, is a reenactment of stories of the Old Testament in which all the characters (including God) are African American and speak in a fl southern dialect.
The Green Pastures follows stories of the Bible, such as Adam and Eve, Noah and the flood, Moses and the exodus from Egypt, and the crucifixion of Christ, but places them in a rural fl southern setting.
The settings are roughly contemporary to the time period in which the play was first written and performed, so that, for instance, the city of Babylon is represented as a New Orleans jazz nightclub.

So "The Pastures of Heaven," undeservedly one of Steinbeck's least-known works, is a pleasant and affecting surprise--a volume of interlinking stories (simply called "chapters") whose mature style and semi-mystical themes remind me, oddly enough, of Garcia Marquez.
More a book of short stories than a real novel, The Pastures of Heaven is one of my favorite of Johnny Steinbeck's.
Pastures of Heaven and The Long Valley are a matched set in the Steinbeck library.

Steinbeck's work from the 1930s includes such celebrated works as OF MICE AND MEN and TORTILLA FLAT, as well as PASTURES OF HEAVEN, an early, experimental novel about the world of his childhood.
In prose that blends the vernacular and the incantatory, the local and the mythic, these five works chart Steinbeck's evolution into one of the greatest and most enduringly popular of American novelists.
The Pastures of Heaven (1932), a collection of interrelated stories, delineates the troubled inner lives and sometimes disastrous fates of families living in a seemingly tranquil California valley.
