It’s the fifth episode of Required Reading with Tom and Stella! This podcast, which is hosted by Tom Panarese (Pop Culture Affidavit, In Country, Taking Flight) and Stella (Batgirl to Oracle: A Barbara Gordon Podcast, The Batman Universe) is two teachers talking about literature. Each episode, we will be taking a look at a single work, analyzing it, criticizing it and deciding if it’s worth its place in the canon.

This time out, we take a look at Jack London’s The Call of the Wild, his classic novel about Buck, a dog who is taken from his home and has to survive both in the wilderness and mistreatment by men in the Klondike Gold Rush of the early 1900s.
