John Barleycorn: A Drinking Life
In one of the great works of American literature, Jack London tells a poignant tale of the power of addiction through his alter-ego, John Barleycorn. With alcohol as his sole companion, John travels across North America, living as a sailor, gold prospector, unemployed vagabond, and struggling novelist.
Written with elegance and intelligence, while never shying away from the addiction that bedeviled him, John Barleycorn: A Drinking Life presents its author's arduous transformation from hard-bitten adventurer to renowned writer.
