Novel by John Steinbeck, published in 1945. Like most of Steinbeck's postwar work,
Cannery Row is sentimental in tone while retaining the author's characteristic social criticism. Peopled by stereotypical good-natured bums and warm-hearted prostitutes living on the fringes of Monterey, Calif., the picaresque novel celebrates lowlifes who are poor but happy. --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.
