 * //Of Mice and Men// is set in California during The Great Depression of the 1930s. It centers on George, a small, intelligent migrant whoker/hobo (the distinction is never made entirely clear), and his best friend, Lennie, who is 6'8" and intellectually disabled. Driven from a town called Weed, the two have recently arrived in Salinas for a new job. Here, they meet several hands, Candy, Crooks, Carlson, and Slim among them. Soon thereafter, they meet the boss's son, Curley, and his aptly named wife, Curley's wife. The trouble begins from there.**
