A vigorous self-promoter and the kind of media celebrity we would recognize today, London was America's first novelist to earn more than one million dollars a year from his writing (in today's currency). Call of the Atlantic reveals a side of London's life is essential to understanding the character, drive, and success of this extraordinary man -- namely, hispublishing odyssey overseas. Through correspondence, McAleer explores London's publishing career outside of North America, illuminating the relationships with publishers and agents, principally in Britain, that madeLondon a best-selling author on an international stage.
