I can recommend John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men which is a good, very short work set in that period.

Belated, another great read placed in that era
Looking at the last post i may be way out of date but just came across this thread.
2 great books would be A tree grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith about a family growing up in this period. or a more recent book set in that period and an off the radar read would be The adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon both great books, but very different styles enjoy. |
