The Wayward Bus is a novel by American author John Steinbeck, published in 1947. The novel's epigraph is a passage from the 15th-century English play Everyman, with its archaic English intact; the quotation refers to the transitory nature of humanity. Although considered one of Steinbeck's weaker novels at the time of its original publication, The Wayward Bus was financially more successful than any of his previous works.
