Description
Notwithstanding the renaissance of Jack London studies during the past generation, we would be mistaken in thinking there have been no important aspects of this great author's work still unexplored. The publication of Dan Wichlan's impressive edition of London's hitherto unpublished and uncollected nonfiction makes clear what we have been missing-filling a major gap in our understanding of this extraordinarily complex author. Particularly noteworthy in this collection is the interrelationship between London's nonfiction and his fiction--and the demonstration of how both these genres were vitally related not only to each other but also to the author's personal experiences. Wichlan's book is a "must read" for all London scholars and serious fans. --Earle Labor, Wilson Professor of American Literature at Centenary College of Louisiana, has published several books on Jack London, including the Stanford Editions of London's letters and short stories. He is currently finishing a biography of London for Farrar, Straus, & Giroux Publishers. At last, over 90 years since the author's death, the path is open to the last unexplored area of Jack London studies. Dan Wichlan's book, hard-won over many years of patient search and meticulous research, brings together for the first time all of London's heretofore uncollected short nonfiction. These pieces appeared in fugitive newspapers and magazines, most of them short-lived, virtually all long ago defunct, have never before appeared in book form and are, therefore, available to the general reader for the first time. Moreover, Wichlan has even uncovered and included in this collection heretofore unpublished London works. The result is a book of surpassing importance in better understanding this vital figure of American literature." - Dale L. Walker is editor of In a Far Country: Jack London's Tales of the West; Curious Fragments: Jack London's Tales of Fantasy Fiction; No Mentor But Myself: Jack London on Writing and Writers, and author of many other London works.
