I'm increasingly of the belief that it's the reader that makes the book weird. Not the story itself. I read plenty that's "odd/weird" and it bores (read: drills) the country-fried fuck out of me.

Yeah, yeah, yr book has a talking worm in it or a floating city w/ tentacles that act as civil engineers for a whole other city below it full of data centers run by talking worms that have heart issues or parasites that are striking for better wages. We get it. You're weird. Fine. Leave me alone.

Yes, Curley's essays on Spinoza's political theory are excellent back in the day.
Since Cicero is nearly every in 17th century, it's a good place to start from. I have a huge project trying to argue that, but as long as my main appointment is in political theory, I doubt I will write up monograph.

"That’s a dirty thing to tell around."
!["You seen that glove on [Curley’s] left hand?"
"Yeah, I seen it."
"Well, that glove’s fulla Vaseline."
"Vaseline? What the hell for?"
"Well, I tell ya what--Curley says he’s keepin’ that hand soft for his wife."
George studied the cards absorbedly. "That’s a dirty thing to tell around," he said.

Is there a reason why Curley’s translation seems so far removed from the Dutch in schaarschmidt? Is the latter so unreliable? (The transcript of the ms on wikicommons seems not far from schaarschmidt.)

I got what you meant. Crooks is a complicated character, his loneliness, and subjugation has curdled him.
Worse, I always found, was the classes reaction to Curley’s wife - who they often saw as a slut who deserved what she had coming.
That’s the most difficult part of the book to teach.

The query refers to the accidental killing of Curley's wife by Lennie Small in John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. While your search phrase uses very crude and offensive language, the events it describes are a central and tragic part of the book's plot.
