Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Cannery Row is a 1945 novel by John Steinbeck.The central premise is simple enough: in Monterey, California's Cannery Row neighborhood during The Great Depression, a group of men decide to throw a party for their friend Doc, a marine biologist who has a laboratory in the neighborhood. Interspersed within the story are little vignettes about the inhabitants of Cannery Row and the surrounding neighborhoods.Nine years later, Steinbeck wrote a sequel, Sweet Thursday, which returned to a post-WWII Cannery Row. It featured most of the same characters, added a few new ones, and had Doc find romance in the form of a young woman named Suzy.Rodgers and Hammerstein produced a musical Pipe Dream based on both books (in fact, Steinbeck wrote Sweet Thursday while working on the stage treatment) in 1955. It was not a success.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A movie version of Cannery Row was released in 1982, starring Nick Nolte, Debra Winger and M. Emmet Walsh, and it borrowed elements from both novels. | |

Random Events Plot | |
| Cannery Row / int_a07afea2 | comment |
Random Events Plot: Cannery Row has no real plot; the party for Doc is the closest thing to a main story and it doesn't take up that much of the book. Steinbeck wrote Sweet Thursday in response to a request to provide a plot and a love story for the musical version. | |
