People are like here, kid, here's a book about a dog, kids love dogs, and ten-year-old me cracks it and it's all "He had killed man, the noblest game of all, and he had killed in the face of the law of club and fang. After being about a dog, it's - actually the second thing is it's dark, holy shit. It’s my wife, then my dog's butt, then me.īut socialism. He’s between us in bed at this very moment, his head buried down in the blankets, ass up. Now, as a grown up, I finally get to have my own dog, and he likes to point his ass right at my face. That scene with the thousand pound sled is like the Rudy-sacks-the-quarterback of dog stories. His bond with his human is so strong that they'll perform miracles for each other. Here's a book about Buck the Yukon sled dog. I just really liked dogs, and we couldn't have one, so I read a lot of books about them. That's certainly all I thought, when I was ten and I read and re-read this for the first several times.

The buildings and property were later preserved as Jack London State Historic Park, in Glen Ellen, California. London's ashes were buried on his property, not far from the Wolf House. London died November 22, 1916, in a sleeping porch in a cottage on his ranch. He wrote several works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel, The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, War of the Classes, and Before Adam.
London was part of the radical literary group, "The Crowd," in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of unionization, workers' rights, and socialism. He also wrote about the South Pacific in stories such as "The Pearls of Parlay", and "The Heathen". His most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories, "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He was also an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction. A pioneer of commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a large fortune from writing. John Griffith Chaney (1876-1916), better known as Jack London, was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist.
