Get Lit

To Build a Fire by Christophe Chabouté

Join us for a Get Lit discussion of To Build a Fire: Based on Jack London's Classic Story by Christophe Chabouté

Miles across the sunless Yukon toward the Klondike to search for gold, a man and a dog trek through the Great White North, struggling to survive nature's frigid indifference.

From the master of black and white artwork and the bestselling illustrator-storyteller of Park Bench and Alone comes a starkly beautiful graphic novel adaptation of Jack London's most famous short story. 

Discover the beloved author of White Fang and The Call of the Wild, Jack London's renowned short story "To Build a Fire" in a new and evocative way from master artist Christophe Chabouté. With his signature stunning black-and-white art, Chabouté illustrates London's gripping story of man versus nature in the harsh and unforgiving Yukon that has enthralled readers for over a century.
