Jack London’s “To Build a Fire” | A Snowy Bonus Episode

❄️ BONUS EPISODE ❄️ As a heavy snowstorm rolls in where the Porcupine is, there’s one story that always comes to mind: “To Build a Fire.” This is a bonus episode of The Porcupine Presents, shared not because it was on the schedule, but because the weather insisted. London’s famous short story is one of the starkest and most enduring works of American literature — a quiet, merciless meditation on cold, confidence, and what happens when human judgment meets a world that does not care whether we understand it or not. 🔥 After the story, stick around for a brief discussion of: • why “To Build a Fire” is a classic example of literary naturalism • how each decision the man makes narrows his options • and why the story’s power comes not from drama, but from inevitability For now, do the sensible thing the story itself warns us to do: curl up somewhere warm, let the snow stay outside, and listen. Stay warm — and enjoy. 📅 Originally aired: January 2026 ⏱ Runtime: Approx. 48 minutes Background image: Snow Falling Stock Videos by Vecteezy
