I laughed, I cried, and I had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading it. “The most down-to-earth book about superheroes I've ever read.

No one understands the contrast between civilization and the wild as a dog does, London suggests in his novel.īuck lived a life of luxury, one that was interpreted permanently when he was stolen and sold as a sled dog. London made this unique choice (as a dog-lover all his life) as a way to depict humanity and nature from an unusual perspective. If you’ve never read The Call of the Wild, the immediate realization that the main character is a dog is a surprising. And if, perhaps, you might experience the same type of joy in freedom and nature as Buck does. While the protagonist is a dog, readers can easily place themselves in Buck’s place and imagine what it would be like to be forced to live a wild life, very removed from that which you previously enjoyed. This major theme of the novel should appeal to all readers. It’s hard to finish Buck’s story without admiring his appreciation for nature (despite all the suffering he’s forced to endure). Civilization and Wilderness in The Call of the WildĪfter reading the novel, readers are meant to walk away questioning civilization and with a newfound interest in, and respect for, the natural world. Its title derived from Wilson's fascination with cosmic vibrations, after his mother once told him as a child that dogs sometimes bark at people in response to their "bad vibrations". Most of the song was developed as it was recorded. It was considered for the Smile project, but instead appeared on the album Smiley Smile (1967). Initiated during the sessions for the album Pet Sounds (1966), it was not taken from or issued as a lead single for an album, but rather as a stand-alone single, with the Pet Sounds instrumental "Let's Go Away For Awhile" as a B-side. Characterized for its complex soundscapes, intricate harmonies, and exotic instrumentation, "Good Vibrations" later became widely acknowledged as one of the greatest masterpieces of rock music. Released as a single in October 1966, it was an immediate critical and commercial hit, topping record charts in several countries including the US and UK. "Good Vibrations" is a song composed and produced by Brian Wilson with words by Mike Love for the American rock band the Beach Boys.

In the passage that comes to mind, he talks about slavery, origin stories, and the need for myths: As I read, I remembered a quote from an NPR article I’d read earlier in the year in which one of my favorite authors, Marlon James, talked about his African mythology-inspired fantasy novel Black Leopard, Red Wolf. I read this novella in December last year. But with such a heavy burden gone, Yetu takes the opportunity to escape the heavy responsibility of holding onto such painful history. She passes on these memories to other Wajinru in a ceremony called the Remembering, at the end of which she is supposed to take back the memories. The protagonist, Yetu, serves as the historian for the Wajinru and is burdened with all the memories of her people’s traumatic experiences.

But although I appreciated what the story does, I didn’t like it as much as everyone else did. It made me curious to see what it’s all about, and I also thought it was pretty cool that the inspiration for it came from a rap song.
