Items related to Unfamous Men
A new retelling of the classic novel
Inspired by Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck's timeless tale of Depression-era friendship, Unfamous Men chronicles a different group of doomed dreamers: Mexican fruit pickers in Southern California in the years following World War II.
Tomás, a small man with a weakness for women and gambling, is constantly getting into trouble. Juanito, on the other hand, is a gentle giant with limited emotional intelligence who craves only quiet.
They're on their way to Los Angeles to live with Juanito's uncle, but first they need to earn money at a ranch near Ventura. Complicating matters is the fact that Tomás has caught the eye of both Dallas, the ranch owner's son, and Celedonia, Dallas's Mexican wife who used to work on the ranch. There's also Santos, the wise field boss and Custodio, a young Bracero disillusioned about life in America.
Over the span of just a few days, these characters collide in a way that ends in betrayal and death--but not in the way you might think.

"Gomez gives a classic tale new life and sheds light on an underacknowledged chapter of American history." -Kirkus Reviews
"Unfamous Men is a vital read in these regressive times." -Tim Z. Hernandez, author of All They Will Call You
"Unfamous Men is more than a reimagining of Steinbeck's classic novella, it's a necessary contribution to literature about Mexican Americans." -Maceo Montoya, author of The Deportation of Wopper Barraza
