Book & Film Club - Of Mice & Men

The bookOf Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is a poignant novella set during the Great Depression, following two displaced ranch workers, George and Lennie, as they chase the fragile dream of owning land of their own. Through spare prose and deeply human characters, Steinbeck explores friendship, loneliness, power, and the harsh realities of economic hardship, building a story that is both intimate and devastatingly universal. The filmThe 1992 adaptation, directed by Gary Sinise and starring John Malkovich as Lennie, brings Steinbeck’s tragic story vividly to life.

It remains a faithful and moving interpretation of a modern American classic.
