Steven Dhondt

London Bridge (eBook, ePUB)

A Fictional Memoir

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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."

Autorenporträt

Steven Dhondt became fascinated with the works of Jack London at an early age. After completing his graduate thesis on London's use of satire, he published several scholarly articles on London's writings. His interest in London and other writers led him to pursue his own literary dreams, resulting in the publication of many of his poems and inclusion in the International Who's Who in Poetry. London Bridge is his first novel. He lives in a quaint village in western New York State.
