Sweet Thursday by John Steinbeck
First edition. The Viking Press: New York, 1954.
Jacket design by Paul Galdone. Publisher's original beige cloth with red lettering and bluebird motifs on the spine and upper board.
“In Monterey, on the California coast, Sweet Thursday is what they call the day after Lousy Wednesday, which is one of those days that are just naturally bad. Returning to the scene of Cannery Row—the weedy lots and junk heaps and flophouses of Monterey, John Steinbeck once more brings to life the denizens of a netherworld of laughter and tears—from Doc, based on Steinbeck’s lifelong friend Ed Ricketts, to Fauna, new headmistress of the local brothel, to Hazel, a bum whose mother must have wanted a daughter.”- penguinrandomhouse.ca
