Jack London: An American Life (Hardcover) Over 40 years in the making, this biography is built solidly upon original research into the life of Jack London. Well-known myths and fallacies are left behind leaving only the truth to shine through. Dr. Labor has striven for the utmost accuracy, revealing both the bright and dark sides of his subject. Did Charlie Chaplain once impersonate a waiter to serve Jack London and Wyatt Earp at a Los Angeles Restaurant as one report states? He very well may have, but the episode is NOT in this book because it could not be independently verified. That is the accuracy for which he has striven.
London's life was as much of an adventure as any of his best books...and was the basis for much material in his books. If there is one shortcoming to this biography, it is the limitation of space. Much interesting material had to be jettisoned in order to fit the work into the space allowed by the publishers. Still, if you only read one biography of Jack London, this is the one it should be. You cannot choose a better one.
