John Steinbeck’s literary portraits of American life remain as captivating today as when they were written decades ago. Joseph Luzzi, professor of literature at Bard College, explores the themes, ideas, and style of Steinbeck’s brief 1937 masterpiece Of Mice and Men. This haunting tale of friendship and economic struggle continues to enchant readers today.

Luzzi explores how Steinbeck’s depictions of those on the margins of American society present a powerful record of human psychology and the broader economic forces that can shape—and in some cases unmake—a life.
