Steinbeck John
Cannery Row
New York: The Viking Press 1945 First edition advance issue in the publisher's blue wrappers. An excellent copy with only some minor fading to spine else fine. Cannery Row is a Depression-era novel set in Monterey California. The plot takes place on a grungy street with "the gathered and scattered tin and iron and rust and splintered wood chipped pavement and weedy lots junk heaps sardine canneries of corrugated iron honky tonks restaurants and whore houses and little crowded groceries and laboratories and flophouses." The actual street in Monterey has since been renamed "Cannery Row" in honor of this iconic novel. The plot features an unlikely cast of characters including a marine biologist a grocer a restaurateur and a group of local vagabonds. Cannery Row is exemplar of Steinbeck's talent for making even the most unsavory characters relatable and endearing; Mack and his group of homeless squatters are described as "gentlemen and philosophers united by a common dislike of a steady job and a mutual feeling for the pleasures of living according to their lights." Much of the inspiration for this novel and its 1954 sequel Sweet Thursday were drawn from the author's own life; Steinbeck was born in Monterey County grew up knowing fishermen and other laborers and was close friends with a marine biologist Ed Ricketts who worked on the real Cannery Row. First Edition. Fine. New York: The Viking Press unknown books

New York: The Viking Press 1945. First edition of this classic work by the Nobel Prize-winning author. Octavo bound in three quarters morocco over marbled boards gilt titles and tooling to the spine raised bands. In fine condition. John Steinbeck's picaresque novel set against the backdrop of the sardine canneries vacant lots flophouses and honky-tonks of Monterey California "was as complex as Steinbeck was. In a way it was a summation of all his conflicts and contradictions and all that he had learned. It was Steinbeck-funny and deadly serious all at the same time sentimental and coldly deterministic loving and satirical lyrical and yet very precise. Nowhere else in his work is his poetry so well controlled and nowhere else does he cut quite so deep" Benson 554-5. The Viking Press hardcover books

New York 1941-42 1941. Overall condition is very good. Eight original gouache on paper art works with text and illustration for different trial versions of a theater poster for Oscar Serlin's production of the Broadway debut of John Steinbeck's play The Moon is Down New York 1942. Together with one version of a printed poster. Nine variations all demonstrably different and by several different artists only one of whom is identified: Witold Gordon who was known for his New Yorker magazine covers. His signature is on two of the versions. Sizes vary from approximately 13 x 9 to 28 x 20 inches; all are mounted on pasteboard or cardboard. The Moon is Down was John Steinbeck's second attempt at converting one of his novels into a play Of Mice and Men was the first. It was originally written while Steinbeck was on assignment from the Foreign Information Service a division of the Office of Strategic Services that was charged with combating Nazi propaganda. The first draft of the story depicting a small American town invaded by German troops was rejected by the FIS who feared that it might demoralize the American public. In the second draft Steinbeck kept the basic plot but changed the setting to a fictitious Scandinavian town. Despite mixed critical reception the The Moon is Down was a popular success and a bestseller. Shortly after its publication Broadway producer Oscar Serlin who thought the story would attract a large audience if made into a play purchased the dramatic rights. In April 1942 The Moon is Down premiered on Broadway with Otto Kruger as Colonel Lanser and Ralph Morgan as Mayor Orden. Its initial run lasted nine weeks and the play was well received on the road and abroad especially in London and Stockholm. The Moon is Down was nominated for Best Play by the New York Drama Critics' Circle and placed second. Provenance: The collection of producer Oscar Serlin. <br/><br/> (New York, 1941-42) unknown books
