Swans’ Fine Books
1381 Locust St, Walnut Creek
Thursday, January 22nd, 2015
7:30pm – 8:30pm | FreeJack London is one of the most iconic names in American Literature.
He was the author of 55 books, more than 200 short stories, and almost 200 newspaper and magazine articles and essays. He was the master of the short story genre who helped mold it into its modern form with “To Build a Fire” being a primary example.
He also wrote such classic novels as The Call of the Wild, The Sea-Wolf, Martin Eden and The Valley of the Moon. He traveled the world reporting on wars, politics, sporting events and culture. Because of his writing and his travels, he became one of the greatest celebrities of his time. His fiction was greatly influential in the transition from realism to naturalism in literature, and his nonfiction was equally influential both politically and culturally.
Please join us on Thursday evening, January 22nd for an informal discussion about Jack London’s fascinating life, and an overview of his books and his writing style. Leading the discussion will be Dan Wichlan, a member of the Jack London Foundation (please see full bio below).
