What’s it about?
It’s about two migrant farm workers who get a job in California during the Great Depression. George is more or less the carer of Lennie, who is a beautiful person, but congenitally naive and doesn’t understand how physically strong he is.
And what’s it really about?
It’s about the death of The American Dream, again.
The American Dream is the idea that if you work hard, you’ll make a better life for you and your family. For many Americans, this dream is essentially unattainable due to intellectual, economic or social circumstances.
Like most American literature published after World War I (e.g. The Sound and the FuryorDeath of a Salesman), the death of The American Dream is parsed through the catastrophic failures of the personal ambitions of the characters.
What should I say to make people think I’ve read it?
“We thought about getting a pet rabbit but Timmy is very big for his age.”
What should I avoid saying when trying to convince people I’ve read it?
“I preferred the part about mice.”
Should I actually read it?
Yes. It was originally written as a screenplay, so it’s short and dialogue-heavy. You can zip through it in an afternoon. It’s desperately sad, but if you’ve read Game of Thrones and you think Of Mice And Men is too sad, you should present yourself to the relevant authorities at first light.

what books were you assigned to read in a class that you still hold a violent and bitter grudge against
for me it’s into the wild and the scarlet letter
