Having watched the Nick Nolte, Debra Winger film, Cannery Row, several times it's clear the screen writer used both this and the title story as the basis. For those that never saw the movie it's Oscar worthy and more

For those who haven't seen the movie, I recommend you read this book first and when you do, you'll notice how closely the script follows it . Very rare to see this with any adaptation

Interesting how Steinbeck shifts chapter titles in the second half of the book using Sweet Thursday in each of them. Very clear this book had the stronger influence of the two in the screen play

I can hear and see Debra Winger doing the scenes with Nolte as I read dialog between them.. Cannery Row is one of the most underrated films ever made

In a word... Joy! I can't think of another story that elicits joy like this one!

As readers and lovers of story, we owe it to ourselves to uncover the brilliance of the American classics. Whether this story, Of Mice and Men, Hemingway or others, there's no getting around the fact that without them contemporary authors benefitted. I urge all my friends to break from the usual and turn to classics like this

Great quote for the last sentence in chapter 9
There are people who will say that this whole account is a lie, but a thing isn't necessarily a lie even if it didn't necessarily happen

Truly amazing how Steinbeck doesn't miss a beat 22 years after writing Cannery Row.. This is simply devine storytelling

Having loved Cannery Row's characters and story like an old friend, Steinbeck manages to duplicate the evocative nature once again. Whether Doc, Mack, Hazel or the others the sense of comfort is indescribable.
