To a God Unknown is a novel by John Steinbeck, first published in 1933. The book was Steinbeck's second novel. Steinbeck found To a God Unknown extremely difficult to write; taking him roughly five years to complete, the novel proved more time-consuming than either East of Eden or The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck's longest novels.
