"A Piece of Steak," by Jack London May 15, 2019

Show notes

You might look at the title and think, "What?" Then you see that Jack London wrote it and you think, "Maybe he's feeding steak to a dog of some sort?" Then I tell you it's a boxing story, and you might say, "Those are a thing?" Well, they are a thing. But wait! It's not just some story of a big boxing match. It's actually not that at all. It's much more than that. Give it a listen and let me know what you think!
