Jack London’s A Piece of Steak

Jack London: "He had got up in the morning with a longing for a piece of steak, the longing had not abated. He had not had a fair training for this fight. It was a drought year in Australia, times were hard, the most irregular work was difficult to find." https://americanliterature.com/author/jack-london/short-story/a-piece-of-steak

Jack London “A Piece of Steak”

Jake Lamotta (Raging Bull) fans will enjoy this story: "It was hard for an old man to go into a fight without enough to eat. And a piece of steak was such a little thing, a few pennies at best; yet it meant thirty quid to him."
