Jack London, one of the most read and recognized figures in
American literature, produced an immense body of work, including 22
novels, 200 short stories, memoirs, newspaper articles, book
reviews, essays, and poems. A significant and revealing feature of
London's literary life lies in his introspective observations on
the craft of writing, brought together in this collection of
essays, reviews, letters, and autobiographical writings. London's
public role as a daring, carefree man of action has obscured the
shrewd, disciplined, and methodical writer whose practical
reflections and meditations on his profession provide a vivid
portrait of the literary industry in turn-of-the-century America.
For this edition, a significant amount of new material has been
added.
"Reviews of the First Edition"
"Dale Walker has rendered a valuable service in his painstaking
collection of London's writings about writers. He has included 43
selections, 20 of which are previously uncollected: 13 essays, and
excerpts from London's two autobiographical works. The result is a
remarkably comprehensive view of London 'the writer's writer.'"
--"American Literary Realism"
"An absorbing account of how hard the writer worked to learn his
craft. . . . We find a master prose stylist concerned with problems
of selectivity and concrete issues of tone, form, atmosphere, and
point of view."
--"Modern Philology"
"A remarkable collection. . . . This is a firsthand look at a
writer's honest and forthright opinions on his craft."
--"Los Angeles Times"
