Sinclair Lewis: Rebel from Main Street

Meer over het boek

In this definitive biography of Nobel Prize-winning novelist Sinclair Lewis, Richard Lingeman presents an empathetic, absorbing, and balanced portrait of an eccentric alcoholic-workaholic whose novels and stories exploded shibboleths with a volatile mixture of caricature and realism. Drawing on newly uncovered correspondence, diaries, and criticism, Lingeman gives new life to this prairie Mercutio out of Sauk Centre, Minnesota.
