OF MICE AND MEN

---

by John Steinbeck (1937)

---

Paid work is scarce, but life on the road offers the prospect of finding employment. One smart man. One simple man. Two mates, each seeking an improvement in circumstances. Both hoping for a brief respite from the relentless foraging that precedes mealtimes. Finally, as work is found, and money is made, everything seems to be on the up and up. George and Lennie are living the American dream after surviving the American nightmare. Now George can begin to advance his plans for success, with Lennie heartily and affectionately included in these plans. True mateship sustains itself throughout adverse circumstances. And sometimes an executive decision must be made and put into practice. Fiction. 132 pages.
