Cannery Row/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Cannery Row features examples of:

  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Doc reading the poem. Everyone is moved.
    • The boys at the Palace Flophouse taking care of the puppy.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: "He's got a can up there."
    • Not to mention Mack and the boys, drunk off of their asses, catching some surprised frogs in the frog pond.
    • Doc ordering a beer milkshake, and then lying about why.
  • Tear Jerker: Frankie's story.
    • Along with the first party, Mack's apology, the second party, and pretty much the whole book.
