The Game

Reader:

Jack London was born in San Francisco to Flora Wellman, a young unmarried woman who had run away from her Ohio family. Longing for stability and roots, he seized upon writing as a ticket to secure middle-class identity. At a time when novelists like Henry James were becoming self-conscious about their profession and articulating a privileged culture around their activity, London approached writing as a working-class trade; he apprenticed himself to the popular magazines and learned their formulas. In 1899 he broke into print in the Overland Monthly with his Alaskan stories. Between 1900 and 1916, he completed more than 50 fiction and nonfiction books, hundreds of short stories and numerous articles. Several of the books and many of the short stories are classics and still popular; some have been translated into as many as 70 languages. Among his most well-known books are Call of the Wild, White Fang, The Sea Wolf, Martin Eden. First edition books are highly prized by collectors and first edition books with the original dust cover can cost thousands of dollars. The Game was first published in 1905. Joe and Genevieve are shopping for rugs and things for their new life together when they will be married in a week’s time. But first Joe, who is a local celebrity because of his prowess at the Game – boxing – has one last fight to get through before settling down with Genevieve to his new life. And what a fight!
