When God Laughs & Other Stories Annotated

By: London, Jack

This outstanding collection includes "The Apostate," "Just Meat," "A Piece of Steak," and "Chinago." In The Apostate his concerns with the working poor and his dislike of pre-union-era capitalism are evident in a grim story about a young man who is brutalized by the subhuman working conditions in a textile mill, yet achieves a kind of liberation in the end. London's fascination with primitive male characters is evident in Just Meat, a story of two thieves who plot each other's demise in a selfish grab for a hoard of recently stolen jewelry.
