Some Writers I Have Known

NO writer in our century has known greater acclaim than an idolizing public accorded Jack London at the peak of his popularity. Whenever he made a public appearance, vast crowds swarmed to hear him speak. He was one of a very few whose work drew an enormous following in the popular magazines, and was equally admired by serious literary critics, sociologists, and philosophers. He had legions of friends in every country, and an unmatched zest for living. An unparalleled storyteller, London was also a social philosopher of the first rank, spearheading many of the great social and industrial reforms which by mid-century have become the law of our land.
