Sweet Thursday by John SteinbeckMy rating: 0 of 5 stars
It was nice to check in on the denizens of Cannery Row after WWII and see how Doc was getting on at Western Biological, the latest shenanigans of Mack and the Boys, entrepreneurial Wide Ida, etc. The story feels contrived with floozy with a heart of gold Suzy blowing in to take up residence in a boiler and Mack et al running angles to select an owner for the Flophouse, but I just ignored that and enjoyed the atmosphere and looking in on this familiar cluster of buildings and dreams. Too bad about the violence on Doc which seemed unnecessary and too dark for the setting...
