It is thanks to Dr Wiley and his Poison Squad that we now understand what preservatives are safe for use in food, and in what quantities. The men become known as the Poison Squad, which is based on real-life research conducted by Dr Wiley, the man responsible for the establishment of the US Food & Drug Administration in 1906. Luke volunteers for medical trials intended to determine if the food additives Magruder and others use are safe. (In this case, “public good” means not producing food that kills people.) She’s the adopted daughter of Congressman Clyde Magruder, who Luke wants removed from office because of his history of favouring his own business interests over the public good. ![]() Unfortunately, she is Marianne Magruder, from the Magruder family who have been Delacroix enemies for decades.

If I was a better brother, she’d be finishing senior year instead of being another name on a missing persons list. ![]() If I hadn’t hung up on her that night, she would be at our house, spending time with Grandma. I, Jay Murphy, can admit that, for a minute, I thought my sister Nicole just got caught up with her boyfriend-a drug dealer-and his friends. No one even blinks twice over a missing black girl from public housing because she must’ve brought whatever happened to her upon herself.

Tale as old as time and we've heard it all before, right?Įxcept that East of Eden shakes things up a little bit, and by a little bit, we mean that it changes around everything.Īdam and Charles Trask are two competitive brothers with daddy issues. You've probably already got this: Adam and Even live in the Garden of Eden, get expelled thanks to Eve's snake-dealing shenanigans, are exiled, have two sons named Cain and Abel, Cain kills Abel when God likes Abel's gift better, and then Cain is forced to wander the land with a mark on him so that people don't just up and murder him. What, you didn't expect him to change that much, did you?īut let's talk plot. But even though Steinbeck stepped into religious territory, Easy of Eden is still chock full of all the classic Steinbeck ingredients… by which we mean that it takes place in California's Central Valley. That's right-our man Steinbeck might have been writing in 1952 and based his story during that awkward time when the 19th century became the 20th, but his subject matter comes from way further back. He has written about mice and men, and some wrathful grapes, but in his novel East of Eden, John Steinbeck sets his sights a little higher and takes on the Book of Genesis. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tracking delivery Saver Delivery: Australia postĪustralia Post deliveries can be tracked on route with eParcel.
