(2) His novella "Sweet Thursday," a sequel to his classic "Cannery Row," is based on the original book he wrote for the 1955 Richard Rodgers / Oscar Hammerstein II musical "Pipe Dream."

"Sweet Thursday" also serves as the basis for David S. Ward's film Cannery Row (1982), as the story, plot and characters rely more on the former rather than the latter.
