Extractions: N ovelista estadounidense muy imitado por escritores posteriores, tanto en su estilo naturalista como en su temática. Lewis cambió la tradicional visión romántica y complaciente de la vida estadounidense por otra mucho más realista, e incluso amarga. Nació en Sauk Center (Minnesota), el 7 de febrero de 1885 y estudió en la Universidad de Yale. De 1907 a 1916 trabajó como reportero y editor literario. En Calle mayor (1920), Lewis desarrolla por primera vez un tema que se convertirá en leitmotif de sus principales obras: la monotonía, la frustración emocional y la falta de valores espirituales e intelectuales de la clase media estadounidense. Su novela Babbitt (1922) ofrece un retrato despiadado del arquetipo del hombre de negocios de una ciudad pequeña que acepta ciegamente los valores sociales materialistas y éticos de su entorno. La palabra 'Babbitt', que designa a este tipo de persona, ha pasado a formar parte de la lengua común. En El doctor Arrowsmith (1925), expone la falta de idealismo científico que en ocasiones se observa entre los médicos; Elmer Gantry (1927) retrata la figura de un falso e hipócrita líder religioso infiltrado en la iglesia Protestante. Otras de sus novelas, como

Extractions: By Richard Lingeman Several years ago a totally unknown novelist from the mid-West wrote an essay in Harpers asking whatever happened to the "big social novel" in America. It is a question that comes up quite a lot in literary circles, usually in relation to the larger question of what constitutes realism in fiction. Many of the worlds most celebrated authors in the late twentieth century - Marquez, Grass, DeLillo, Murakami - have written big social novels, but they tend toward "magic realism" and the paranoid, fantastic, and supernatural. Their work seems not quite of the world. Is it realism? The author of the Harpers piece (yes, that was Jonathan Franzen pre-plugging The Corrections ) quotes Philip Roths complaint, made in the 1960s, that in America reality has surpassed fictions ability to represent it. But Roths own work in the 1990s put the lie to that, while journalist-turned-novelist Tom Wolfe has continued to campaign for a literature that will reject fashionable literary trends like postmodernism and magic realism, and go out into the street to deal with life as it is really lived by Americans. Now Sinclair Lewis, another product of the American mid-West, is one of Tom Wolfes heroes . . .

Extractions: Random House, $35. I'VE always thought satire the most difficult kind of writing. The targets of your work will inevitably respond, and you run a much greater chance of being misunderstood than do mystery or romance writers. Family members may see themselves in your characters there goes private bliss. Who in his right mind would be a satirist? In the 20th century, Sinclair Lewis was America's most successful one, declining a Pulitzer Prize but accepting the Nobel Prize for Literature. By the time he died in 1951, he had embedded terms like "babbittry" and "Gantryism" into our national consciousness and made "Main Street" a code word for small-town smugness. Then, 10 years after Lewis' death, Mark Schorer made him the subject of a particularly mean-spirited literary biography. Now comes Richard Lingeman with

Extractions: Inspiration... Sinclair Lewis 1885-1951, 66 years The man who was probably the greatest satirist of his era and who gave us Elmer Gantry (1927), Main Street (1920) and Babbitt (1922) died alone in Rome, on January 10, 1951 at the age of 66. A red-head with a quick temper, he was angry most of his life. His Arrowsmith(1925) won him a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction but he refused to accept it. He did accept the Nobel Prize for Literature for his Dodsworth (1929), the first American to win one, but "Red" Lewis deliver a scalding speech at the Swedish Academy ceremonies attacking the "near-sighed American academicians" for not recognizing the importance of a new generation of American writers, like himself, who had broke with the traditional and genteel view of reality. He listed others whom he felt had been slighted, Hemingway, Sandburg, Faulkner, Cather, Dreiser and O'Neill. Sinclair Lewis was born in 1885, in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, a flat, corn and wheat growing, midwestern town much like his Gopher Prairie in Main Street (1920). He was the third son of a country doctor whose father was a doctor, a country doctor much like the character Doc Vickerson in Arrowsmith (1925). In 1903, at 18 his father sent him back East to college, Yale, where his acquaintances, including Upton Sinclair (1878-1968, The Jungle, 1906, a graphic novel of the Chicago stockyards). Sinclair Lewis, sometimes called Harry and sometimes Hal, contributed regularly to the Yale Literary Magazine and took short story classes from professors, one of whom he said, "might have been harmful if he had only been brighter".

Extractions: Lewis's early novels, Our Mr. Wrenn (1914), The Trail of the Hawk (1915), and Free Air (1919), were relatively undistinguished, as were some of his later ones. His first, and most important work, was Main Street, published in 1920. Main Street satirized the stupidities of small town life. The themes of the monotony, emotional frustration and lack of spiritual and intellectual values in American middle-class life would run through all of his later works. In the novels that followed Main Street he showed a keen ear for conversational crudites, a sound sense of the technical problems of making a living in the United States, a fine eye for the details of rooms and buildings that are found in America. His novel Babbitt (1922) put a new word into the English language, a word to describe the typical go-getting salesman.Arrowsmith (1925) displayed the lack of scientific idealism somethimes found in the medical profession. Elmer Gantry (1927) lampooned an unscrupulous clergyman, and was based upon facts provided by the Rev. L.M. Birkhead. In Dodsworth (1929) Lewis depicted the egotistic, pretentious, married woman sometimes found in American upper-middle-class circles.

Extractions: news freetime travel homezone ... item world 'Six Feet Under' writer Craig Wright adapts Sinclair Lewis novel for the stage Graydon Royce, Star Tribune Published March 30, 2003 On Jan. 2, playwright Craig Wright sat down in the basement rehearsal hall of Great American History Theatre to listen as cast members read through his second draft of "Main Street." Wright, a staff writer for HBO's "Six Feet Under," was back in his hometown visiting friends so Ron Peluso, the theater's artistic director, seized the opportunity to gather his actors around a table and gauge how this adaptation of Sinclair Lewis' 1920 novel sounded to the ear. "It's about 65 pages," Wright said. "There are about 50 good ones. I'd like to find the 15 that aren't and look for ways to fix them, or throw them out. I just want you to know it isn't perfect." It had been about a year since Wright approached Peluso with the notion of finding a play within "Main Street," the most definitive Minnesota novel ever written. Lewis' masterwork prefigured cultural tussles that rage today, began to sketch the outlines of that passive/aggressive phenomenon called "Minnesota Nice" and appreciated, like only a native son could, the environmental landscape where high plains meet forest. "Main Street," though, is a sprawling, episodic novel with characters and plots that aggressively chart their own course. Wright and Peluso wondered about how to adapt it for the stage.

Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History , novelist, satirist of middle-class values. Born in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, the son of a stern hardworking doctor, Lewis matured slowly, writing a number of minor novels and working as a publicist and editor. In 1920 he found his voice with Main Street, a devastating portrait of the American small town, its dullness, mindless prejudices, and lonely stultified women. He followed this book with Babbitt (1922), an equally vigorous assault on a typical small-town businessman and his narrow, contradictory values. Lewis was more than a critic of American culture, however. In his next novel, Arrowsmith (1925), which he wrote in collaboration with the bacteriologist Paul de Kruif, he revealed his admiration for the heroic side of the American dream. Martin Arrowsmith is a brilliant medical researcher who struggles against the temptations of irresponsible women, unethical opportunists in the medical profession, and his own human impulses, which threaten his professional integrity. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize, but Lewis created a literary sensation by rejecting it. In 1920 the Pulitzer judges had awarded the prize to Main Street
