Sorry, I'm not aware of the author of this novel. There are so many novels out there, and without more information, it's difficult to determine. You could check with local bookstores or literary communities to find out.
I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read it. It could be about a special time (the happy hour) in a particular setting like a bar or a social gathering and the events, relationships, and stories that unfold during that time.
A 'happy hour novel' could be a novel that is meant to be enjoyed during a happy hour, perhaps something light - hearted and relaxing. It might be a story that has elements of fun, joy, and maybe some humorous situations to make the reader feel good while they unwind with a drink or just during a break.
There's also 'Ella Minnow Pea' by Mark Dunn. This novel is creative and fun, with a unique concept. It tells the story of a town where letters are being banned one by one. The story is engaging and has a touch of whimsy, which can be a great pick for a happy hour read. It's different from the usual novels and offers an interesting and enjoyable reading experience.
It's mainly about the lives of the characters in Cannery Row. There are various personalities, like the bums, the workers, and the eccentrics. It shows their daily struggles, relationships, and small - time adventures. It gives a vivid picture of the place and the people who inhabit it.
In Cannery Row, many characters display complex morals. Mack and the boys, for example, are poor and live on the fringes of society. They have a sense of loyalty among themselves. They may steal or engage in petty mischief at times, but they also show great kindness. They take care of Doc, not just because they want something from him, but also out of a sense of friendship. Their morals are not traditional in the sense of following strict rules, but they have their own code of conduct based on survival and community in the tough environment of Cannery Row.
