1937100479New York: Covici-Friede 1937. First edition. Near fine in a price-clipped good or better dustwrapper with some chipping near the bottom of the front flap fold and a large but faint dampstain. An uncommon play adapted by Steinbeck from his own novel. Steinbeck's stage adaptation condenses his novella into a three-act tragedy ideally suited to theatrical presentation. The play's dialogue-driven format strips away narrative contemplation rendering each character's thwarted ambitions through stark unadorned exchanges that intensify the work's central themes: the impossibility of economic independence during the Depression the profound isolation persisting within communal spaces and the brutal incompatibility between human vulnerability and a system demanding complete self-sufficiency. The inexorable march toward Lennie's death demonstrates how certain lives become expendable when they cannot conform to society's demands. Covici-Friede unknown

Steinbeck was satisfied with his novella about the struggles of two itinerant farm workers but he didn't expect the book to make any money. It ended up selling 117000 copies in less than a month.
