Cannery Row (Cannery Row, #1)
by
by
Not my favorite Steinbeck book but, like pizza, it is still very good.
”Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream.”
This book works almost as a collection of short stories/ anecdotes about the people living in Cannery Row. The writing is beautiful, funny and really makes the characters shine.
It was the first Steinbeck book I read in English and the experience is very different. I might need to reread everything else in the original versions.
