Book Review: The Real Old Cannery Row Revealed
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm one of the Cannery Row Steinbeck authorities that has been waiting for this book. Scrap Lundy's research on what's real and what isn't in John Steinbeck's "Cannery Row" unravels decades of bad journalism, careless academic attention, and a mountain of conjecture and misinformation. With this book, one of Steinbeck's best (Steinbeck biographer, Jackson Benson, claims its his "hands down" favorite Steinbeck work), readers of his 1945 jewel can know and appreciate the background of its characters, the origins of actual places Steinbeck used in his "fiction"--as well as those real places and people cleverly manipulated for the sake of Steinbeck's world famous "Cannery Row."
This great little book is now the indispensable companion reader to John Steinbeck's "Cannery Row"--as valuable to the reader for the pleasure of John Steinbeck's art, as for the serious student or researcher on the subject. A Steinbeck collector's library is now incomplete without it.
