Published 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 including longtime friend Ed Ricketts Steinbeck interweaves the stories of Doc Dora Mack and his boys Lee Chong 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 poignant works. In her introduction Susan Shillinglaw shows how the novel expresses both in style and theme much that is essentially Steinbeck: 'Scientific detachment empathy toward the lonely and depressed . . . and at the darkest level . . . the terror of isolation and nothingness.'

A very good copy in an excellent dust jacket.<br /> <br /> A reworking of Steinbeck's earlier collaborative expedition narrative with marine biologist Ed Ricketts originally published as Sea of Cortez 1941. In this later version Steinbeck presents the narrative portion alone accompanied by his moving biographical essay on Ricketts written after his friend's death.<br /> <br /> The result is a more personal and reflective work - part travel narrative part scientific observation and part elegy - capturing both the ecological richness of the Gulf of California and the intellectual companionship that shaped Steinbeck's thinking. <br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne: see A40 U.S. edition; U.K. issue not separately enumerated.
