Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men is one of the better books set for examinations in schools. It can’t be termed a ‘classic’ yet: to achieve that status, Dr. Johnson wisely remarked that books must still be being read 150 years after being published. Short in length but big in ideas, however, this novella (published in 1937) looks set to pass the test in 2087.
