Writing a summary of an essay about a book - do I have to cite the book if I mention that the essay is written about it but don't quote or paraphrase from the book? (MLA)

I have to write a summary of an essay about Jon Krakauer’s Into The Wild.
This is the most that I will be mentioning the book in my summary:
” Barbara Klonowska’s article Travel Narrative as a Tragedy is a literary analysis of Jon Krakauer’s Into The Wild. Jon Krakauer’s novel tells a story, based on true events, of a young man named Christopher McCandless who decided to escape the society that he was beginning to despise and retreat back into the wild; namely, to Alaska. Ultimately McCandless dies of starvation once he finally reaches his destination.”
Do I have to cite the book on my works cited page?
