A modern American classic of page, stage and screen, “Of Mice and Men” offers a meaningful examination of friendship, of the ways people are labeled and discarded because of physical or intellectual differences, of the search for a little place called home, a dream which remains now — as it did when this story was first written — out of reach for those who struggle in this society.
