mice and men :: Article Creator BANNED: Of Mice And Men Article From the Collection: The Library Published in 1937, Of Mice and Men has long been a fixture of high school English curriculums. Author John Steinbeck used his own experience as a bindlestiff to tell the story of two migrant workers, one of whom is developmentally disabled, living and working in Depression-era California.

But that didn't insulate it from censorship challenges; in fact, Of Mice and Men is amongst the most challenged books of the last few decades. Challenges have included complaints about "profanity," "morbid and depressing themes," and the author's alleged "anti-business attitude." Others have called it "derogatory towards ...

famous short stories online :: Article Creator Shocking Discoveries, Wood Milk & A Famous Groundhog: Stories That Surprised Us This Year Delaware is rarely short on news of the weird. After all, we bond over a meat product reviled by many, decorate a roadside weed for Christmas, and have a baseball mascot inspired by a stalk of celery. But you knew all that already. No matter how well we think we know the First State and its people, each year there are the stories that come out of nowhere to surprise us.

Potts "We Keep Playing the Same Record": A Conversation with Octavia E. Butler For readers of this journal, Octavia E. Butler literally needs no introduction. Her exquisite, insightful works—especially the three XENOGENESIS novels, (Dawn, Adulthood Rites, Imago) and her award-winning story "Bloodchild"— have been discussed and analyzed more than once in these pages. One usually has to get up early in the morning to reach Ms. Butler. A private person, she prefers writing in the predawn hours and by eight AM is frequently out of the house on the day's business. She has other claims to uniqueness: she is a native of Los Angeles who does not drive; she is a woman of color working in a genre...
