Male Call - Becoming Jack London

"No other critic writing today is doing such interesting work on Jack London. Jonathan Auerbach offers a fascinating explanation of the process by which Jack London self-consciously fashioned himself as a professional writer and inscribed that process in his writings. "Male Call "delivers our most interesting account of London's early career and the turn-of-the-century literary culture that helped make his career possible."--Brook Thomas, University of California, Irvine

Riassunto

When Jack London died in 1916, he was one of the most famous writers of his time. This book analyses the nature of his appeal by examining how the struggling young writer sought to promote himself in his early work as a sympathetic, romantic man of letters whose charismatic masculinity could carry more significance than his words themselves.
