Reviews
Haley's work is the sympathetically told story of a man unlucky in his birth to foolish parents, unlucky enough in his health to die at forty, and unlucky with women until his second wife, Charmian. Recommended., [A] valuable Londonbiography. It surpasses Irving Stone's 1938 Sailor on Horseback, giving us a well-delineated picture of a singular, complicated figure...These days we have little sense of the literary glory that was Jack London. Thanks to James Haley's zeal, the author of [the fiercely imaginative Before Adam], not just the man of The Call of the Wild, is before us again., Narrator Bronson Pinchot's direct, animated performance proves to be a perfect complement to the rich and absorbing text. With Pinchot's well-paced and fluid delivery, listeners are easily made witness to the most intimate and exciting details of London's life. Listeners looking for an entertaining biography will find it here.

Synopsis
Jack London was born a working-class, fatherless San Franciscan in 1876. In his youth, he was a boundlessly energetic adventurer on the bustling west coast--by and by playing the role of hobo, sailor, and oyster pirate. From his vantage point at the margins of Gilded Age America, he witnessed such iniquity and abuses that he became a life long socialist and advocate for reform. His adventures in the American wilderness and underworld informed his fiction, and his writing came to captivate the nation as it defined his era. Within his own short lifetime, London became the most popular, and bestselling, author of his generation. By adulthood he had matured into the iconic American author of such still-universally loved books asThe Call of the Wild,White Fang, andSea Wolf, but in spite of his success, he was at war with himself. The highest-paid writer in America, he was constantly broke. Famous as he was for conjuring the brutality of nature in story after story and novel after novel, upon the actual deaths of his favorite animals he would dissolve into helpless tears. Sick, angry, and disillusioned, after a short, breathless life, he passed away at age forty--but he left behind him a glorious literary legacy. Award-winning author James L. Haley explores the forgotten Jack London--a man bristling with ideas, whose passion for social justice roared until the day he died. InWolf, Haley returns Jack London to his proper place in the American pantheon, resurrecting the author ofWhite Fangin his full fire and glory., Jack London was born a working-class, fatherless San Franciscan in 1876.
