This year marks the 20th anniversary of the publication of Sanora Babb's classic novel, Whose Names Are Unknown (2004). Listen to this free excerpt: youtube.com/watch?v=5F0ipM…

A book that didn't get published when it was originally written in 1939 because John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath was published just three weeks before. What's worse is that Steinbeck borrowed Babb's notes that she'd made while working at the refugee camps in California.
