Chad Nelson quoted Cannery Row by John Steinbeck (Penguin twentieth-century classics)
Cats drip over the fences and slither like syrup over the ground to look for fish heads.
— Cannery Row by John Steinbeck (Penguin twentieth-century classics) (Page 81)
Just a throwaway line, Steinbeck’s descriptive prose and figurative devices are just so evocative throughout this book.
