John Barleycorn (Modern Library Classics)

John Barleycorn (Modern Library Classics)

Jack London cut a mythic figure across the American landscape of the early twentieth century. But throughout his colorful lifeâ€“from his teenage years as an oyster pirate to his various incarnations as a well-traveled seaman, Yukon gold prospector, waterfront brawler, unemployed vagrant, impassioned socialist, and celebrated writerâ€“he retained a predilection for drinking on a prodigious scale. Londonâ€™s classic "alcoholic memoirs"â€“the closest thing to an autobiography he ever wroteâ€“are a startlingly honest and vivid account of his life not only as a drinker, but also as a storied adventurer. Richly anecdotal and beautifully written, John Barleycorn stands as the earliest intelligent treatment of alcohol in American literature, and as an intensely moving document of one of Americaâ€™s finest writers. This Modern Library Paperback Classic includes illustrations from the original edition.
