(© 1945)
NOBEL LITERATURE PRIZE-WINNER—
A tender and bawdy fable of some gaily disreputable avoiders of work, drunks, fancy ladies, benign bums and social-outcast philosophers, including:
‘Dora’, a great big woman with flaming orange hair and a taste for Nile green evening dresses, who keeps an honest one-price house...
‘Hazel’, whose mother was too tired to notice his sex when she named him, and who didn’t pay enough attention in reform
school to learn viciousness and criminality...
‘Mary Talbot’, a lovely young thing whose great-grand-mother had been burned as a witch, and who gave tea parties for the neighborhoods cats...
‘Eddie’, the understudy bartender who believed that a man got just as drunk on half a glass as on a whole one if he was in the mood to get drunk at all...
and of course, ‘Doc’, owner and operator of the Western Biological Laboratory, with the hands of a brain surgeon, about whom they said he had helped many a girl out of one trouble and into another...
Meet them in Cannery Row by John Steinbeck.
