Other Fiction Whitman, Walt: Life and Adventures of Jack Engle, v1, 31 May 2024

[Pulpmeister]

Revered 18th century American poet Walt Whitman is not remembered as a writer of fiction as well, but wrote some prose fiction. Three long stories appeared: Franklin Evans, or the Inebriate (1842), The Half-Breed, a Tale of Adventure (1846), and The Life and Adventures of Jack Engle (1852). Jack Engle was published anonymously as a magazine serial, and it wasn't until the early 2010s that the serial's author was positively identified as Whitman, and it was printed for the first time as a book.

It is more of a novella than a novel, at about 36,000 words.
