Reference: Goldstone and Payne John Steinbeck: A Bibliographical Catalogue A22b. ~TT~ 1.5P A first edition copy of an important novel by 1962 Nobel laureate John Steinbeck 1902-1968. Published in 1945 it is set during the Great Depression in Monterey California on a street lined with sardine canneries that is known as Cannery Row. The story revolves around the people living there: Lee Chong the local grocer; Doc a marine biologist; and Mack the leader of a group of derelict people. The actual Monterey location Steinbeck was writing about known casually as Ocean View Avenue was later renamed 'Cannery Row' in honor of the book. A film version was released in 1982 and a stage version was produced in 1995. Cannery Row focuses on the acceptance of life as it is - both the exuberance of community and the loneliness of the individual. John Steinbeck draws on his memories of the real inhabitants of Monterey and interweaves their stories in this world where only the fittest survive - creating what is at once one of his most humorous and poignant works. In this work John Steinbeck returns to the setting of Tortilla Flat to create another evocative portrait of life as it is lived by those who unabashedly put the highest value on the intangibles - human warmth camaraderie and love.
