As it has been written in The Guardian, "there’s a golden glow about Cannery Row, a persistent delight with the world, a continual sense of wistful affection. It’s there in the enthusiastic descriptions of the landscape, and the friendships that have grown up there. In the indulgent lingering passages about the joy of food and drink; the “heartbreaking” smell of a chicken stew cooking on an open fire; and the way a good shot of liquor can leave a character like Mack peering “into his empty glass as though some holy message were written in the bottom”. Even fighting is presented as an enjoyable and healing occupation, a “good”, quick way to settle differences, a “happy” opportunity to flail around with old car parts and a prelude to combatants being “embraced and admired”."
"The strange and dolorous standalone chapters that Steinbeck says he let “crawl in” to his book help form a coherent and fascinating whole. "
