Short Story Club will feature a variety of short stories by American writers, coupled with a discussion about the meaning and language used in the text.
For this session we will discuss an excerpt from "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair.
Upton Sinclair was a famous twentieth century poet who often experimented with different genres. The Jungle exposed the harsh conditions of the meatpacking industry in Chicago and other similar industrial cities. Public pressure during the aftermath of the book’s publication led to the passage of the Meat Inspection Act, which helps ensure that meat is packaged under sanitary conditions.
