Cannery Row Days: Travels with Charley Book Discussion with Susan Shillinglaw
During the past decade, there has been intense scholarly discussion about precisely how to categorize Travels with Charley. Is it nonfiction? If so, does Steinbeck seem to embellish episodes or, as is is certainly the case, leave out his wife’s presence in parts of the book? Does that mean it’s a fictional account? Autofiction? In this book discussion, we’ll discuss readers’ responses to Steinbeck’s narrative account of his travels.
