The story takes place on a grungy street with "the gathered and scattered tin and iron and rust and splintered wood chipped pavement and weedy lots junk heaps sardine canneries of corrugated iron honky tonks restaurants and whore houses and little crowded groceries and laboratories and flophouses." The plot features an unlikely cast of characters including a marine biologist a grocer a restaurateur and a group of local vagabonds. Much of the inspiration for this novel and its 1954 sequel Sweet Thursday were drawn from the author's own life; Steinbeck was born in Monterey County grew up knowing fishermen and other laborers and was close friends with a marine biologist Ed Ricketts who worked on the real Cannery Row and served as the inspiration for the character Doc. .

Dust jacket design by Arthur Hawkins Jr. An exceptional example. John Steinbeck's picaresque novel set against the backdrop of the sardine canneries vacant lots flophouses and honky-tonks of Monterey California "was as complex as Steinbeck was.
