Cannery Row is a novel by American author John Steinbeck, published in 1945. It is set during the Great Depression in Monterey, California, on a street lined with sardine canneries that is known as Cannery Row. The story revolves around the people living there. Steinbeck revisited these characters and this milieu nine years later in his novel Sweet Thursday. ---------- Also contained in: - The Grapes of Wrath / The Moon is Down / Cannery Row / East of Eden / Of Mice and Men [1]:
