- Title
The Five Suicides of Martin Eden.
- Authors
Link, Eric Carl
- Abstract
A literary criticism of the book "Martin Eden" by Jack London is presented. It outlines a revealing exchange between two young writers as London confesses to Elwyn Hoffman that his own regrets and anxieties have led him to contemplate suicide on occasion, and he suggests that one way to counter that dark impulse is to get passionate about a topic and go lecture about it. It also discusses that suicide is one of the central elements or themes driving the plot of the novel Martin Eden.
