In 1941 Steinbeck met â€œwith officials of the Foreign Information Service a newly formed unit of what would soon become the Office of Strategic Services to discuss the future of American counterpropaganda efforts. The Moon Is Down begun later the same month had its origins in Steinbeckâ€™s long-standing desire to contribute to these effortsâ€¦ Steinbeck submitted a first finished draft of The Moon Is Down originally written as a play called â€˜The New Orderâ€™ and set in a mid-sized town in the United States to agency officials; they turned it down concerned that the prospect of an occupied America might lower morale. Early in December Steinbeck began revising the work shifting the setting to a generic northern Europe and recasting the play as a novel; he sent his revised draft to Pascal Covici his editor at Viking later in December. The Moon Is Down as a novel appeared in book form in March 1942. A stage version opened on Broadway on April 9 1942 and was published by Dramatists Play Service in New York later in the same yearâ€ Library of America. Second issue with the Haddon Craftsmen name on the copyright page and no period between "talk" and "this" on p. 112 line 11 The Viking Press hardcover
