Perry, John. Jack London – An American Myth. Chicago: Nelson-Hall, 1981.
This heavily researched book examines London in great detail. While doing research for the book, John Perry gathered as many magazine accounts, newspaper accounts, and reviews that he could find. He also used letters and memoirs written by London and his family to try and understand who London was as a person. This book is very helpful for anyone who is interested in where some of London’s ideas came from and who he was as an individual.
Reesman, Jeanne Campbell. Jack London - A Study of the Short Fiction. New York: Twayne Publishers, 1999.
This book gives very good critical analysis of London’s short fiction. The information that Reesman presents about the short-story “Moon-Face,” in particular, is very helpful.
