Totally Dublin reviews MONTEREY BAY
MONTEREY BAY reviewed at the Steinbeck Review
"Steinbeck's Cannery Row, revisited" in the High Country News
"In Cannery Row, Steinbeck portrayed the region in all its dingy, scrappy charm. Hatton blends Steinbeck’s nostalgia with a contemporary sensibility regarding her city, examining its quirks as astutely as Ricketts once studied marine life under his microscope. In her novel, Cannery Row itself becomes a protagonist, by turns vibrant and lethargic, seedy practicality struggling up over decades to flower into international renown."
