Description

Cannery Row is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream. In this vibrant and inimitable portrayal of life on the fringes, the inhabitants of Cannery Row in Monterey, California, come alive. As they prepare to throw a party for their friend Doc, the gamblers, whores, drunks, bums and artists of the neighbourhood get caught up in a little mischief and misadventure. This edition features a stunning new cover by renowned artist Bijou Karman. With its unique blend of humour, compassion and intelligence, Cannery Row is a thoroughly enjoyable and delicious read. The author's uninhibited and bawdy style shines through on every page, making this a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
