London is well known for his books The Call of The Wild, White Fang and The Sea Wolf. The true story of Jack London's real life is unknown to most readers, the stories in The Road offer unique insights into London's life and his later years as a socialist.

This was an excellent book about Jack London bumming it for a few years as a youth. No doubt that these experiences radicalized him for the rest of his life. However, it the book was quite brutal and explicit in descriptions of the violence and injustice he witnessed, and I did not finish reading it.
