Summary
John Steinbeck: Of Mice and Men
The American Nobel laureate's novel, Of Mice and Men, is controversial primarily because of swear words, insults and racist expressions, so this little book by Steinbeck often encountered various objections. The main characters are two unemployed wage earners looking for work. George Milton and Lennie Small visit different places in California during the Great Depression in the United States. In this book, in which he weaves his own experiences, Steinbeck deconstructs the concept of the American dream and shows its unattainability, as well as the difficult financial situation of a large number of Americans.
