Description
One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'
'CanneryRow in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, aquality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream.'
Meetthe gamblers, whores, drunks, bums and artists of Cannery Row inMonterey, California, during the Great Depression. They want to throw aparty for their friend Doc, so Mack and the boys set about, in their owninimitable way, recruiting everyone in the neighbourhood to the cause.But along the way they can't help but get involved in a little mischiefand misadventure. It wouldn't be Cannery Row if it was otherwise, nowwould it?
Packed with a ramshackle joi de vivre, Cannery Row is Steinback's high-spirited tribute to his native California.
'Uninhibited, bawdy, compassionate, inquisitive, deeply intelligent'Daily Telegraph
