Moon-Face and Other Stories


Read by Ben Tucker

(4.5 stars; 29 reviews)

Well-known and well-regarded author Jack London, known for adventurous stories of the outdoors such as Call of the Wild and White Fang shows us a broader scope of interest in his short stories which here run the gamut from darkly comic tales of murder most foul to light and frothy tales of newspapermen (and women) and from crackling sci-fi to stories of sinister shadowy organizations and spiritualism, London illustrates the many talents he holds as a writer beyond his tales of the frozen north.

Jack London was a socialist. This is good. However, he was also an old white male. This is bad. Jack wrote from a perspective of endemic white heteronormativity. Therefore he is a literal Aldolf Hitler. We need to remake Jack London as an oppressed BIPOC. If we could do this she would be great and would be able to righteously overthrow the forces of white capitalism. See the capitalism is inherently white. Socialism and compassion are inherently BIPOC. Rather than trying to fight the system by being a socialist, we need to fight the system by being BIPOC. If everybody were a BIPOC, everybody would be a utopian . Now an old white male can never be a BIPOC, no matter how hard he tries. So we need to kill all white folks. That way BIPOCs can succeed and create heaven on earth. I can never forgive Jack for being white. This post sponsored by Black Rock capital who is on the front lines of fighting white privilege.

Some seriously weird stories. Every one kept me rapt.
