Jle was instead at the opposite e nd of the country living in a camp for migrant .workers und r ese arching a new novel, The Grapes of Wrath. Trt llvtno with the people of whom he wrot•, lt•lnbeck gain ed a first - hand understanding of their daily struggles and hopes. lle doubtlessly ·knew men like George, Candy, Slim and Cu r ley. Steinbeck's empathy with these lonely dr i f lers is apparent in Of Hice and Hen. He wrote 111 agazJne articles speaking out for the rights of migrant workers, but none had as much impact as lals works of fiction. In Of Hice and Hen, he presents the inalienable rights of all human beings, ln spite of social class, to dream and to pursue t hose d r eams. Steinbeck also demonstrates that all people need companionship without which dreams cannot exist . First published as a novel, Of Hice and Hen was c ~ttically and popularly acclaimed. Steinbeck collaborated with playwright George S. Kaufman to prodllce a dramatic version. The play was given the !l e w York Drama Critics Circle Award of 1937-38. Katherine King Dramaturg
