Introduction by Susan Shillinglaw
Published in 1945, Cannery Row focuses on the acceptance of life as it is: both the exuberance of community and the loneliness of the individual. Drawing on his memories of the real inhabitants of Monterey, California, Steinbeck interweaves the stories of Doc, Henri, Mack and his boys, and the other characters in this world where only the fittest survive, to create a novel that is at once one of his most humorous and most poignant works.
In her thoughtful introduction, Shillinglaw shows how the novel expresses, both in style and theme, much is essentially Steinbeck: "scientific detachment, empathy toward the lonely and depressed... and, at the darkest level... the terror of isolation and nothingness. You may also enjoy:
