October 8, 1992 The Romance of Sinclair Lewis By Gore Vidal Sinclair Lewis Main Street and Babbitt by Sinclair Lewis, edited by John Hersey Library of America, 898 pp., $35.00 Elmer Gantry. It Can't Happen Here. Babbitt. Main Street. Dodsworth. Arrowsmith . Sinclair Lewis. The first four references are part of the language; the next two are known to many, while the last name has a certain Trivial Pursuit resonance; yet how many know it is the name of the writer who wrote Elmer Gantry Sinclair Lewis seems to have dropped out of what remains of world literature. The books are little read today, and he's seldom discussed in his native land outside his home town, Sauk Centre, Minnesota. Although Sauk Centre holds an annual Sinclair Lewis Day, the guide to his home recently admitted, "I've never read Main Street subjects like the hotel business, the sort of thing that only pop novelists go in for nowadays. That said, it would seem impossible that a mere biographer could effectively eliminate a popular and famous novelist; yet that is exactly what Mark Schorer managed to do in his 867-page biography, Sinclair Lewis Schorer's serene loathing of his subject and all his works is impressive in its purity, but, at the end, one is as weary of Schorer himself as of Lewis. I once asked Schorer, an amiable man who liked to drink almost as much as Lewis did, why he had taken on a subject that he so clearly despised. The long answer was money; the short, too. In this Schorer did

Babbitt by Sinclair Lewis Hypertext Meanings and Commentaries from the Encyclopedia of the Self by Mark Zimmerman BABBITT BY SINCLAIR LEWIS To EDITH WHARTON BABBITT CHAPTER I THE towers of Zenith aspired above the morning mist; austere towers of steel and cement and limestone, sturdy as cliffs and delicate as silver rods. They were neither citadels nor churches, but frankly and beautifully office-buildings. The mist took pity on the fretted structures of earlier generations: the Post Office with its shingle-tortured mansard, the red brick minarets of hulking old houses, factories with stingy and sooted windows, wooden tenements colored like mud. The city was full of such grotesqueries, but the clean towers were thrusting them from the business center, and on the farther hills were shining new houses, homesthey seemedfor laughter and tranquillity Over a concrete bridge fled a limousine of long sleek hood and noiseless engine. These people in evening clothes were returning from an all-night rehearsal of a Little Theater play, an artistic adventure considerably

Born Harry Sinclair Lewis in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, he began reading books at a young age and kept a diary. A dreamer, at age 13 he unsuccessfully ran away from home, wanting to become a drummer boy in the Spanish-American War. At first, he produced romantic poetry, then romantic stories about knights and fair ladies. By 1921 he had six novels published. In 1930, Sinclair Lewis became the first American author to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. The award reflected his ground-breaking work in the 1920s on books such as Main Street Babbitt (1922), and

Who is Sinclair Lewis? A biographical sketch of Sinclair Lewis, novelist playwright, social critic, novelist and American Nobel Prize winner. Harry Sinclair Lewis, American novelist, playwright, and social critic who gained popularity with satirical novels in the early 1900’s. Sinclair Lewis won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930; he was the first American to win the prize. He won the prize because of his vivid and powerful manner of writing coupled with his wit and humor. He wrote 22 novels and three plays. Lewis often criticized the American way of living in a pessimistic manner; his own view of things though was optimistic. Lewis was born in Sauk Centre, in the heart of Minnesota. Lewis was the third son of a doctor. His mother was the daughter of a Canadian doctor. She died when he was six years old. Lewis’ father remarried a year later. Lewis' stepmother read to him often and he was privy to the hundreds of volumes of his father’s medical books. At the age of 13 Lewis ran away from home to become a drummer boy in the Spanish-American War. He did not get very far though; his father found him at the railroad depot and took him home. In 1902 Lewis entered the Oberlin Academy in Ohio, and shortly thereafter moved to Yale University and started writing for the Yale Literary Magazine. During summer vacation one year Lewis traveled to England and then tiring of college he went to Panama to work on the Panama Canal. Lewis also worked as a janitor at Upton Sinclair’s Helicon Hall. It was during this time, 1906 – 1907, that Lewis tried his hand at freelance writing. In 1908 he received his Masters of Arts and began working for publishing houses and magazines in Iowa, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Carmel and New York City.

59. The Broadaxe Of Sinclair Lewis, By Howard Fast But sinclair lewis can t write, as I ve discovered after reading three or four reviews of his new piece of literary dynamite, Kingsblood Royal. http://www.trussel.com/hf/plots/t506.htm

HOME About Anthologies Articles ... Title Index The Broadaxe of Sinclair Lewis America's veteran novelist cuts down some big timber in the backwoods of Jim Crow. By Howard Fast KINGSBLOOD ROYAL, by Sinclair Lewis. Random House As long ago as the long, long past, when the war you spoke about meant the war to save democracy, or to make the world safe for it, as some said, and the Model T was a fact, not a legend, and you knew people whom Attorney General Palmer had put in jail and were still there, I heard it said, in a monotonous singsong that has not improved with the years, "Sinclair Lewis can't write." Blessed be those who tell the doers what they can or cannot do! That time in the long, long ago was a time when reading was an adventure, each book a new door into a new worldand after these twenty years or so, how sweet and bitter and merciless and fine the taste of Babbitt and Main Street and Elmer Gantry still is! But Sinclair Lewis can't write, as I've discovered after reading three or four reviews of his new piece of literary dynamite, Kingsblood Royal . This poor, benighted man, who won a Nobel Prize for literature more than a decade ago, who has twenty novels to his credit, who numbers his readers by the millions, who is read by more millions in twenty other languages, had just gone along merrily these past thirty years under the illusion that he was a writer. Well, so have Iand I consider him a damned good writer, a hell of a writer, and I think that his new book, in terms of choice of content, in terms of the problem he set for himself, in terms of broad understanding of the forces at work in our society, is the most vigorous and positive thing he has ever turned out.

In 1921, when Sinclair Lewis's book Main Street was passed over for the Pulitzer Prize in favor of The Age of Innocence , he sent Edith Wharton a congratulatory letter expressing his admiration for her work. She responded warmly, saying that this was the "first sign I have ever had`literally'that `les Jeunes' at home had ever read a word of me." Although distressed that Lewis's book had been rejected because it had offended certain readers, she felt that his work had brought her hope: "Some sort of standard is emerging from the welter of cant and sentimentality, and if two or three of us are gathered together, I believe we can still save Fiction in America." Lewis and his wife came out to Saint-Brice-sous-Forˆt soon after this exchange of letters. His relationship with Wharton was cordial but not intimate. They saw each other intermittently for several years, and he dedicated his novel Babbitt to her.
