Of Mice and Men: Mini-Critique


John Steinbeck was born in Salinas California on February 27, 1902. His
mother was a school teacher in the public school in Salinas. Steinbeck grew up
in the beautiful Salinas Valley which furnished most of the material for his
novels. His mother read to him, at an early age, famous literature of the world
which planted a seed in his imagination. He entered Stanford in 1920, remaining
there until 1925 but never graduating. In 1930 Steinbeck married Carol Henning.
Steinbeck died in 1968.
After college, Steinbeck moved to New York, where he worked briefly for
the old New York American newspaper and helped with the construction of Madison

the stock market crash and sold about fifteen hundred copies. Steinbeck
returned to California, living in migrant worker camps to furnish inspiration
for writing novels that described the problems and stresses of the times.
