Babbitt is professionally successful as a realtor. He lives with only the vaguest awareness of the lives and deaths of his contemporaries. Much of his energy in the beginning is spent on climbing the social ladder through booster functions, real estate sales, and making good with various dignitaries.
Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) was an influential American novelist, playwright, and social critic, known for his sharp and insightful commentary on American society. He was born in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, and his experiences growing up in the Midwest deeply influenced his writing. Lewis gained prominence for his ability to blend social satire with realistic and romantic elements, creating vivid portrayals of American life and character. His work often explores themes of individualism, societal expectations, and the identity crisis faced by individuals navigating a rapidly changing society. Some of his notable works are Main Street (1920): A critique of small-town life and its narrow-mindedness, focusing on the struggles of a progressive woman trying to reform her community. Babbitt (1922): A satirical look at the life of a middle-class businessman, exposing the conformism and materialism of American society. Arrowsmith (1925): A novel about a scientist's quest for truth and personal integrity in the face of professional and personal challenges. Elmer Gantry (1927): A biting satire of religious hypocrisy, featuring a charismatic but unscrupulous preacher. Lewis's work is characterized by its social critique and humor, and he is celebrated for his ability to address complex social and moral issues with both depth and accessibility. His novels remain influential for their exploration of American culture and their challenge to societal norms.
