"The Star Rover" is a 1915 science fiction novel by Jack London, also known as
"The Jacket" in the UK. The story is narrated by Darrell Standing, a professor
serving a life sentence in San Quentin State Prison. He endures torture using
a canvas jacket, which leads him to enter a trance state and experience past
lives. The novel's vignettes depict disconnected and unresolved stories from
various historical periods and cultures. The protagonist's experiences are
based on interviews with a former convict named Ed Morrell, who spent time in
solitary confinement. The legacy of the novel includes a 1920 silent film
adaptation and a 2005 movie loosely based on the story. Additionally, it is
suggested that H. P. Lovecraft's work was influenced by "The Star Rover." The
novel is available as a public domain audiobook and has been a subject of
literary analysis.
