Cannery Row by John Steinbeck is a vibrant and affectionate portrayal of a small community in Monterey, California, set during the Great Depression. The story revolves around the lives of the colorful residents of Cannery Row, a street lined with sardine canneries. At the heart of the novel is Doc, a gentle and wise marine biologist who runs a laboratory and is beloved by the community. Other key characters include Mack and his group of good-hearted but mischievous drifters, who are always scheming to do something nice for Doc; Lee Chong, the shrewd yet generous grocery store owner; and Dora Flood, the kind-hearted madam of the local brothel. The plot centers on Mack and the boys' plan to throw a surprise party for Doc to show their appreciation. Their efforts lead to a series of humorous and touching events, including an initial disastrous attempt that leaves Doc's lab in shambles, followed by a second, more successful party.
