Book Description:

At age twenty-three, Jack London sold his first story, and within six years he was the highest paid and most widely read writer in America. To account for his success, he created a fiction of himself as the quintessential self-made man. But as Clarice Stasz demonstrates in this collective biography, London always relied on a circle of women who nurtured him, sheltered him, and fostered his legacy.
