'When God Laughs, and Other Stories' Summary
This collection of Jack London's short stories touches on a variety of topics, including his love of boxing, relationships between criminals, the trials of life and travel on many frontiers, and 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.Book Details
