Book Reviews of Sweet Thursday (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: Dynamite book
Summary: 5 Stars
Sweet Thursday is a dynamite book. It is a sequel to Cannery Row, set after World War II in the same location with some of the same characters.
Steinbeck is always insightful and unerringly descriptive but he wants to drift into the dark and depressing. He is certainly at his positive storytelling best here, though, and I feel like I'm sitting with him in the lab, sipping Old Tennis Shoes, and listening to him spin out this delightful yarn.
Buy this with Cannery Row and enjoy two thumping good reads.
Summary of Sweet Thursday (Penguin Classics)
In Monterey, on the California coast, Sweet Thursday is what they call the day after Lousy Wednesday, which is one of those days that are just naturally bad. 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 Fauna, new headmistress of the local brothel, to Hazel, a bum whose mother must have wanted a daughter.Classics Books
