Cannery Row by John Steinbeck

Repost from my Goodreads review:

Cannery RowCannery Row by John Steinbeck


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Steinbeck still epitomizes classic American fiction to me, and Cannery Row is my favorite Steinbeck novel. There is no real plot in this book, but is instead a roaming collection of yarns all thread together to introduce a fascinating fishing community. Steinbeck gives honest faces from the top levels of society to the homeless and the brothels. Steinbeck’s love and admiration for the town is so honest and natural that, by the end of the book, it feels like home.
