"A few
miles south of Soledad , the Salinas River
drops in close to the hillside bank
and runs deep and green. The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling
over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool."
Seanchai Library presents John Steinbeck's original novella
text, live in voice. Join us at the central fire circle area located in the
heart of the Steinbeck Ranch, as we meet George Milton Lennie Small - two
"bindle stiffs" (itinerant farm workers) with desperate dreams of a
better life where they will "live off the fatta the land."
"We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us. We don’t have to sit-in no bar room blowin’ in our jack jus’ because we got no place else to go. If them other guys gets in jail they can rot for all anybody gives a damn. But not us.”
