Cannery Row

Name: Cannery Row
Author: John Steinbeck

by John Steinbeck

Very early in our relationship my wife gave me a first edition of Steinbeck's 'Cannery Row,' my favorite novel of all time. It's the book that taught me to write with forgiveness and humor toward my characters and I'm eternally grateful for that lesson.
