Jack London

When God Laughs & Other Stories Jack London

This collection of Jack London's short stories touches on a variety of topics, from his love of boxing to relationships between criminals, to the trials of life and travel on many frontiers, to an allegory about a king who desired a nose. London is considered a master of the short story, a form much more to his liking and personality than his novels. He was active and quick of mind and the short story suited him well.
