I'm used to fiction where one character is always at the focus.

PDFs and audio would help. I not good at finding them.

Grapes of wrath has interlude chapters which describes marxist concepts. I think the archive of marxist texts online has a few excerpts saved there.

Here's a PDF

I want to read Grapes of Wrath but worry how deeply it would wrench my heart. Not sure how I'd cope after reading an expert.

It's gut wrenching but also uplifting. Well worth your time and famous for good reason.
