"Jack London (1876-1916) by any standards lived a life of excess. London' s exuberant energies propelled him out of the working class to become a world-famous writer by the age of 27, after stints as a child labourer, an oyster pirate, a Pacific seaman and a convict. He wrote extensively about his travels to Japan, the Yukon, the slums of London' s East End, Korea, Hawaii and the South Seas. The author of classics such as The Call of the Wild and The Sea-Wolf emerges in Kenneth K. Brandt' s new biography as a vital and flawed embodiment of conflicting yearnings. London' s writings, bolstered by their wildly clashing philosophical viewpoints derived from thinkers like Nietzsche, Marx, and Darwin, continue to engross readers with their depictions of primal urges, raw sensations and reformist politics. "
"Brandt presents this ' visionary storyteller' through careful analysis of each of [London' s] literary works: a must read for those who want to know the story behind this author' s great works. "--Iris Jamahl Dunkle, author of ' Charmian Kittredge London: Trailblazer, Author, Adventurer "In bold, declarative sentences, Brandt states the facts of Jack London' s life by tying them together in a thrilling and economical narrative. It should be the first biography anyone consults. "--Jay Williams, author of the three-volume Author Under Sail: The Imagination of Jack London and general editor of The Complete Works of Jack London
