Milo used to send down cases of wine and glasses.
Would you get a 2000 sf “bungalow” with a full kitchen and a sliding glass door or two out to sand, water, and boats, or a horrid room in one of the “high-rises.” The JLS party was it, crashed especially by modern poetry people. It is (or was) a great sprawling place that used to have a hotel building of every Southern California hotel design possible on premises-always a question. It quickly moved to the Bahia Hotel on Mission Bay we always met there for maybe 10 years. A coalition of author (and area) societies, they decided, was needed, each society putting up its own panels-decentralized. You know one thing I was thinking about is that the ALA started at a biker motel under the freeway near Mission Bay and Mission Beach in June 1989 as the California State U Symposium on American Literature, the brainchild of Alfred Bendixen and Jim Nagel, who had talked over at the previous year’s MLA the total rejection of “author-centered” scholarly research in favor of theory by MLA. I am very happy to hear we can go out on a boat! My ex is from San Diego, and that was the most fun thing to do. People are already very excited about the fall 2020 Symposium. Hope you are looking forward to a very happy holiday. What a great, lean, spare, brilliant thing to do to put those 2 short stories together with The Call and White Fang. Hey, Ken, congratulations! This will always be the copy I assign. This edition also includes an introduction by preeminent London scholar, Earle Labor, as well as a comprehensive biographical note on London’s life and works by scholar and executive coordinator of the Jack London Society, Kenneth K. London’s narratives in this volume focus on issues of continuing relevance to contemporary readers, including the value of the wilderness, animal rights, socioeconomic oppression, and gender inequity. This volume of London’s famed Northland novels also includes an early feminist story “The Night-Born,” and a pro-labor story “South of the Slot.” These works echo and enrich the themes of The Call of the Wild and White Fang with their unique emphases on the primordial, the instinctual, and the quest for social justice. White Fang, set in the frozen tundra and boreal forests of Canada’s Yukon territory, is the story of a wolf-dog hybrid struggling to survive in a human society every bit as brutal as the natural world. The Call of the Wild, London’s elemental masterpiece about a dog learning to survive in the wilderness, sees pampered pet Buck snatched from his home and set to work as a sled-dog during the Klondike Gold Rush.
