Description: "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
