'''''Cannery Row''''' is a 1945 novel by [[John Steinbeck]].
The central premise is simple enough: in Monterey, California's Cannery Row neighborhood during [[The Great Depression]], a group of men decide to throw a party for their friend Doc, a marine biologist who has a laboratory in the neighborhood. Interspersed within the story are little vignettes about the inhabitants of Cannery Row and the surrounding neighborhoods.
Line 9:
A [[Film of the Book|movie version]] of ''Cannery Row'' was released in 1982, starring Nick Nolte and Debra Winger, and it borrowed elements from both novels.

* [[Asian Store Owner]]: Lee Chong, who operates the local grocery, and who stocks pretty much everything and anything in his store.
* [[Defictionalization]]: Monterey's Ocean View neighborhood, on which the fictional Cannery Row is based (see below), later renamed itself Cannery Row after the book. Though it bears little resemblance to the one in the book these days, essentially being a tourist trap consisting of souvenir stores and expensive restaurants.
