6/10/2023 0 Comments Steinbeck museum cannery rowI’m glad it’s mandatory reading in so many schools. It is stunning literature and evokes such feeling and emotion. I maintain that there is no better way to ruin your day that to read Of Mice and Men. They are magnificent treasures of American life, the good and even more so, the bad. Rarely have I ever appreciated works like those. I want to say that I really enjoyed both works but that isn’t exactly honest. Needless to say, there is a lot of Steinbeck here.īefore The Pearl, the only Steinbeck I’d read were East of Eden and Of Mice and Men. Cannery Row takes place on Monterey’s Cannery Row. The town is now home of the National Steinbeck museum. East of Eden takes place a town over in Salinas. He’s from this area and writes a lot about it. I moved to Monterey, CA last summer and decided that while I was here I would read Stienbeck’s catalog.
