The boys drink and review Yuengling's Oktoberfest beer, then discuss Jack London and his amazing character, Wolf Larsen.
London was an amazingly prolific writer, with 23 novels, 3 plays, several works of non-fiction, some poetry and a huge collection of short stories.
In The Sea Wolf, we meet Wolf Larsen, the captain of a sealing schooner. Larsen is a fierce, aggressive, brutish and cruel man, who is also an autodidact, and a convinced materialist who places no value whatsoever on human life.
P&C reflect on Larsen's worldview, whether it's a necessary consequences of materialism, and how it touches on existentialism.
