An American Classic
Simply put, the most important autobiographical novel ever written by any author. Set your arguments aside; in terms of laying out the blueprint for authorial success, there is no more accurate tome on the planet. The formula is there, in all its completeness and simplicity. Massive amounts of hard work, a terrific struggle, many failures, and a supreme work ethic and high tolerance for rejection sum up Martin's approach to success. They are identical for the author, who sets the high water mark for achieving both financial and critical success in a very crowded field. Jack London's estate is easily valued today at over 300 million dollars, not including any royalties (his work is all now in the public domain, by design, and his substantial properties were also donated to the public in the form of a California State Park). Several of his books are American and World classics and will remain so.Be prepared, also, for an attack on the petite bourgeoisie, the philosophy of Nietzsche, and armchair philosophers and literary dilettantes in general.
