REDISCOVERING JACK LONDON Today, Jack London is remembered as the essential juvenile adventure author. Nearly all of us read The Call of the Wild, White Fang, or The Sea-Wolf when we were in school. Yet that memory does a prodigious injustice to this author. He was a sports journalist, an adventurer and travel writer, a war correspondent, a wildly inventive novelist, and in his time the most famous and highest paid writer in America. What on earth happened? In a word, he was also a passionate crusader for social justice, and the things that he found wrong with America-- child labor, economic oppression--people did not want to hear about. Join us as we rediscover who Jack London really was, at The Big Read. James L. Haley is the author of WOLF: The Lives of Jack London, winner of the 2011 Spur Award for Best Biography from the Western Writers of America.
