Harvard Book Store and GrubStreet welcome local author Lindsay Hatton for a reading from her novel MONTEREY BAY, a beautiful debut set around the creation of the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium–and the last days of John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row
“Fans of John Steinbeck and his Cannery Row stories will delight in this novel. She does an excellent job of recreating the Cannery Row that no longer exists, honoring the memory of Steinbeck and Ricketts (the real-life inspiration for Cannery Row’s Doc) and all the workers who once toiled there, as seen through the eyes of a precocious teenage heroine.”—Publishers Weekly
This event is free and open to the public, and MONTEREY BAY will be 20% off the day of the event.
