Description: An attempt to capture the feeling and people of a place, the cannery district of Monterey, California, which is populated by a mix of those down on their luck and those who choose for other reasons not to live "up the hill" in the more respectable area of town. The flow of the main plot is frequently interrupted by short vignettes that introduce us to various denizens of the Row, most of whom are not directly connected with the central story. These vignettes are often characterized by direct or indirect reference to extreme violence: suicides, corpses, and the cruelty of the natural world. No dust jacket. Blue boards with with gilt titles are bumped, rubbed, faded and with small tears to top and bottom of spine. Evidence of previous book worm at bottom margin of pages to page 45. Internal pages are clean and unmarked. Stated 'First published by the Viking Press in January 1945' on publisher page.
