( ) A fun sequel to Cannery Row, John Steinbeck's Sweet Thursday succeeds by discarding that earlier novel's experimental chaos but retaining the warmth of its characters. Thursday's plotline is thin – the closest thing to a through-line is Doc's lonesomeness and courtship of Suzy – but nevertheless has a bit more discipline than Cannery Row. The more experienced Steinbeck is better at keeping hold of the reins of storytelling amid the schemes and haphazardry of his characters. The book emerges as light and congenial, a well-balanced piece with some astute literary flourishes (the drawing of Doc's depression in Chapter 3 is fantastic) and some stand-out scenes (such as Fauna's pep-talk to Suzy (pg. 137)). A good show all round; Steinbeck did the Row proud. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

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 Fauna, new headmistress of the local brothel, to Hazel, a bum whose mother must have wanted a daughter.
