Steinbeck's Depression-era novel, centered around a group of residents from various walks of life in the sardine-canning district of Monterrey, California. "The loose plot centers around the efforts of a group of friends to throw a party for "Doc" (who in real life was the oceanographer Ed Ricketts). The good-natured and somewhat ignorant life-style of these people is captured in a "slice-of-life." Steinbeck wrote that this novel was "a poem. A quality of light. Nostalgia, a dream," and the same can be said for the style of the book, with its vivid characterizations and fidelity to local color" (Baird 2331). Goldstone & Payne A22.b.
