In "When God Laughs and Other Stories," Jack London unflinchingly gazes upon lives that make most people avert their eyes. The downtrodden, the broken, the crooked, the washed-out . . . all of them, London saw, had tales worth the telling. Whether speaking of diamond thieves reveling over ill-gotten gains or of slaves suffering in a dystopian twenty-sixth-century America, London shows a deep understanding of the power of hope -- and the implacable force of fate. "We never win," as one characters says. "Sometimes we think we win . . . a little pleasantry of the gods." No library descriptions found. |
