Publisher Description
Steinbeck’s tough yet charming portrait of people on the margins of society, dependent on one another for both physical and emotional survivalPublished in 1945, Cannery Row focuses on the acceptance of life as it is: both the exuberance of community and the loneliness of the individual. Drawing on his memories of the real inhabitants of Monterey, California, Steinbeck interweaves the stories of Doc, Henri, Mack and his boys, and the other characters in this world where only the fittest survive, to create a novel that is at once one of his most humorous and most poignant works.
Customer Reviews
Cannary row
Watched movie back in the 80’s with nick Nulte, I visit this area on regular basis and enjoyed reading about all the familiar places. Wonderful character discriptions
Perfectly performed
Farden’s voice perfectly evokes the pace, tenor, and tone of Steinbeck’s Boys, the generous Doc, and the beautiful stink of Monterey. A great listen.
A classic delight
Light and vibrant, this little gem is a selection from The Canon that is a pleasure to read. Charmingly narrated and short as can be, they don’t get any easier
Don’t miss it!
