Monterey is also the setting for Cannery Row (the first of John Steinbeck’s novels that I read) and Sweet Thursday, both of which I enjoyed, so I was expecting this book to be just as good. Tortilla Flat is on the hill high above Monterey, an old city on the coast of California. It was John Steinbeck’s fourth novel, first published in 1935.

The movie was not made until 1942 and starred Spencer Tracy, Hedy Lamarr and John Garfield.-Wikipedia. Steinbeck did however receive criticism for what was viewed by some as a stereotypical portrayal of Hispanic-Americans. The book was one of the author’s early works and an immediate hit for which film rights were sold. Most of the action is set in the time of Steinbeck’s own late teenage and young adult years, shortly after World War I. Danny’s house, and Danny’s friends, Steinbeck compares to the Round Table, and the Knights of the Round Table. The central character Danny inherits two houses from his grandfather where he and his friends go to live. The book portrays a group of paisanos-a small band of errant friends enjoying life and wine in the days after the end of the Great War.
