Nathan Tyree: Martin Eden Ain't Got Nothin' on Me
Jack London committed suicide. I learned of this yesterday and was a bit surprised by the news. I had never given much thought to London’s death, but guess that in the back of my mind he had gone down with a sinking ship or been eaten by wolves or stabbed in a bar fight or something. After reading that he, like Hemingway, off’d himself I started thinking about it. Martin Eden came to mind. Considering how Martin ends up, I guess I should have seen Jack’s demise.
Anyway, all of this talk about good Ol J.L. came about because I was doing some research to determine if London’s works were in the public domain or not. It turns out that they are.
