Description
Tom Pierson's freshman obsessions-with American literature and with the pert assistant to the dean of Abbott College-dominate his first term. When his idealism, inspired by Jack London's portrayal of working-class struggles, collides with establishment forces, he learns to rue a lesson from London: that fate is often capriciously twisted.
Steven Dhondt brings passion and literary sophistication to this coming-of-age novel. The telltale themes-idolization of inspiring role models, youthful bravado undermined by self doubt, first love, and betrayal-are outlined in graceful prose with signature empathy. Dhondt deftly pays homage to Jack London by emulating the master's satire and keen understanding of human nature in a story that builds to a tumultuous conclusion.
"I need to find my way. And I think it's through London. Show me how to travel. Maybe if I follow your path, I can learn how to keep traveling."
