O misevima i ljudima
Novela americkog nobelovca O misevima i ljudima kontroverzna je prvenstveno zbog vulgarnosti, uvredljivosti i rasistickih izraza, pa je ova nevelika Stajnbekova knjiga cesto nailazila na razna osporavanja. Glavni junaci su dva nezaposlena nadnicara, koji su u potrazi za poslom. Dzordz Milton i Leni Smol obilaze razlicita mesta u Kaliforniji, tokom perioda Velike depresije u SAD. Stajnbek u ovoj knjizi, u koju je utkao i sopstvena iskustva, razoblicava pojam Americkog sna i pokazuje njegovu nedostiznost, kao i tezak materijalni status velikog broja Amerikanaca.
