Podrobné informácie

Acclaimed novelist, editor, and critic Eric Miles Williamson, with the publication of his first book of nonfiction, establishes himself as one of the premier critics of his generation. There is no other book that resembles ""Oakland, Jack London, and Me"".The parallels between the lives of Jack London and Eric Miles Williamson are startling: Both grew up in the same waterfront ghetto of Oakland, California; neither knew who his father was; both had insane mothers; both did menial jobs as youths and young men; both spent time homeless; both made their treks to the Northlands; both became authors; and both cannot reconcile their attitudes toward the poor, what Jack London calls ""the people of the abyss.""With this as a premise, Williamson examines not only the life and work of Jack London, but his own life and attitudes toward the poor, toward London, Oakland, culture and literature. A blend of autobiography, criticism, scholarship, and polemic, ""Oakland, Jack London, and Me"" is a book written not just for academics and students. Jack London remains one of the best-selling American authors in the world, and Williamson's ""Oakland, Jack London, and Me"" is as accessible as any of the works of London, his direct literary forbear and mentor.
