Jack London and John Barleycorn

Abstract Jack London's autobiography, John Barleycorn(1913), describes London's personal problems with alcohol, as well as the problems of alcoholism in society. In the present study, the book is content analyzed to yield a set of direct quotations. These quotations were selected for the insight they may provide for the personal and relationship problems resulting from alcohol abuse or dependence. London's autobiography can be used in a variety of treatment or educational settings to sensitize readers to the progressive and destructive course of alcohol addiction. Members of AA would also benefit from adding London's autobiography to their personal reading list and to materials available in reading rooms.
