““For more than one hundred years, “To Build a Fire” has been universally acclaimed as a superb model of literary naturalism and the author created his chilling classic while basking in Hawaii’s halycon breezes.”(1) If read before, perhaps in school, few readers will have forgotten this masterpiece based on London’s personal experience in the Klondike.

Join us as Jeff Falconer reads the story out loud in the warmth of the House of Happy Walls followed by a fireside chat to allow everyone to discuss the story.
