IT'S ONE OF LITERATURE'S GREAT LOVE STORIES:
John Steinbeck's 'Of Mice and Men' survives censorship attempt in Idaho (MICHAEL SCHAUB, 6/05/15, LA Times)
The book was challenged last month by community members, including Mary Jo Finney, who said the novella "is neither a quality story nor a page turner." She and others objected to profanity in the book, including "bastard" and "God damn," and found the novella, set in California during the Great Depression, too "negative" and "dark."
