Author Frank Bergon recalls reading Of Mice and Men for the first time as a teenager living in the San Joaquin Valley and remembers how he saw “as if in a jolt of light the ordinary surroundings of life become worthy of literature.” Steinbeck works to propagate the notion that meaningful stories emerge from the marginalized that even those on the fringes of society can make deserving contributions to the literary canon. The novel is set on a ranch in Soledad, CA. Of Mice and Men is a thriller, a gripping tale running to novelette length that you will not set down until it is. The pair seems unstoppable until tragedy strikes and their hopes come crashing down, forcing George to make a difficult decision regarding the welfare of his best friend. Fiercely devoted to one another, George and Lennie plan to save up to finance their dream of someday owning a small piece of land.
