When God Laughs
and Other Stories
by Jack London
Read by Don W. Jenkins
This collection of Jack London's short stories touches on a variety of topics, from his love of boxing, to relationships between criminals, to the trials of life and travel on many frontiers, to an allegory about a king who desired a nose. London is considered a master of the short story, a form much more to his liking and personality than his novels. He was active and quick of mind and the short story suited him well. - Summary by Don W. Jenkins

Worst stories I ever listened to. Everyone has tragic ending. Everyone considers the God of this creation only wants to torture His children and takes delight in their misery. Sorry I wasted my time listening to all of them in the hope at least one had a silver lining in the clouds that darkly covered the lot. Not at all like Jack London.
fantastic stories
