John Steinbeck is often considered one of the greatest American writers, with East of Eden as his greatest masterpiece. Referencing the biblical Cain and Abel, Steinbeck tells the story of a multigenerational family haunted by a vicious cycle they can't seem to escape. Steinbeck's novel has been taught in classes and discussed at length for the last 70 years, but Zoe Kazan's East of Eden, now streaming on Netflix, offers a daring new perspective on the familiar story, pushing boundaries and modernizing the 1950s novel for a new audience.
