# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  John Griffith London was born January 12, 1876, and by the time he died at forty in 1916, he'd pioneered the model of the writer as international celebrity. His breakout came with The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both drawn from the Klondike Gold Rush and both still taught in schools. He wrote cold-country survival stories like "To Build a Fire" and ranged south to the Pacific for tales like "The Pearls of Parlay." In San Francisco he ran with a radical set called "The Crowd," pouring his socialism into The Iron Heel and The People of the Abyss. He made a fortune from magazines and commercial fiction, then used the platform to argue for workers and animals alike.
