The first novel I read by John Steinbeck was “The Grapes of Wrath” on an airplane from New York to Los Angeles. That was over thirty-five years ago and until today I have not read another one of his books. I can honestly say that I don’t remember if I liked or disliked that novel, but what I can say with certainty is that Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men,” is undoubtedly a real classic and, in my opinion, lives up to its reputation. It is absolutely a lovely and touching book and it once again proves that great literature comes in all lengths and sizes.
John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men.”

Joseph Sciuto was born and raised in New York City, where he spent his early years listening to his Italian-American grandmother’s vivid stories about how their family was responsible for building much of the impressive Manhattan skyline, including the Empire State Building. The rich flavor of her stories about their family’s heritage still works its way through his writing. Sciuto holds degrees from both John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Stony Brook University and a certificate in film studies from New York University. After studying psychology, film, theater, literature, and English as an undergraduate, he relocated to Southern California to attend graduate school at Loyola Marymount University, where he studied writing and film. Sciuto's next novel, SOFIA, is available on June 27, 2019, following the success of HOLLYWOOD RIPTIDE, TARGETED DEMOGRAPHICS and PER VERSE VENGEANCE. View all posts by josephfsciuto
