Main Street : The Story of Carol Kennicott

"This is America-a town of a few thousand, in a region of wheat and corn and dairies and little groves." So Sinclair Lewis-recipient of the Nobel Prize and rejecter of the Pulitzer-prefaces his novel Main Street. Lewis is brutal in his depictions of the self-satisfied inhabitants of small-town America, a place which proves to be merely an assemblage of pretty surfaces, strung together and ultimately empty.Lewis, Sinclair is the author of 'Main Street : The Story of Carol Kennicott', published 1961 under ISBN 9780451507532 and ISBN 0451507533.
