Returning to the scene of Cannery Row—the weedy lots and junk heaps and flophouses of Monterey, John Steinbeck once more brings to life the denizens of a netherworld of laughter and tears—from Doc, based on Steinbeck’s lifelong friend Ed Ricketts, to Fauna, new headmistress of the local brothel, to Hazel, a bum whose mother must have wanted a daughter. This Penguin Classics edition features an introduction and notes by Robert DeMott.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Steinbeck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45057846313013,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/1622\/8661\/files\/Screenshot2026-03-17at2.11.45PM.png?v=1773778362","url":"https:\/\/daisychainbook.co\/products\/sweet-thursday-r","provider":"Daisy Chain Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
