John Steinbeck's Cannery Row is a comedy about the American Dream. Steinbeck uses a picaresque narrative with old, old storytelling. "Our father who art in nature" is a significant quote from the story. The character of Henri the Painter is used as a way for Steinbeck to make fun of modern art. The characters have a reverse work ethic. I found the part when Doc orders a beer milk shake and the excuses he comes up with for ordering one hilarious.
