1945JS042New York: The Viking Press 1945 First edition advance issue in the publisher's blue wrappers. An excellent copy with only some minor fading to spine else fine. Cannery Row is a Depression-era novel set in Monterey California. The plot 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 actual street in Monterey has since been renamed "Cannery Row" in honor of this iconic novel. The plot features an unlikely cast of characters including a marine biologist a grocer a restaurateur and a group of local vagabonds. Cannery Row is exemplar of Steinbeck's talent for making even the most unsavory characters relatable and endearing; Mack and his group of homeless squatters are described as "gentlemen and philosophers united by a common dislike of a steady job and a mutual feeling for the pleasures of living according to their lights." 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.

1945120332New York: The Viking Press 1945. First edition of this classic work by the Nobel Prize-winning author. Octavo bound in three quarters morocco over marbled boards gilt titles and tooling to the spine raised bands. In fine condition. 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. In a way it was a summation of all his conflicts and contradictions and all that he had learned. It was Steinbeck-funny and deadly serious all at the same time sentimental and coldly deterministic loving and satirical lyrical and yet very precise. Nowhere else in his work is his poetry so well controlled and nowhere else does he cut quite so deep" Benson 554-5. The Viking Press hardcover books
