Description
Carol Milford is a young, liberated woman from Saint Paul, Minnesota, who marries a small-town doctor named Will Kennicott. Persuaded to move to Gopher Prairie, her husband s home-town, Carol is horrified to find herself living in an ugly, back-water community. A satiric depiction of Carol s attempt to raise the inhabitants of Gopher Prairie to her own smug level, Main Street is one of Sinclair Lewis s most significant works.

Description
The only one of Sinclair Lewis's later novels to match the power of Main Street, Babbitt, and Arrowsmith, It Can't Happen Here is a cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America. Written during the Great Depression when America was largely oblivious to Hitler's aggression, it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a President who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, rampant promiscuity, crime, and a liberal press. Now finally back in print, It Can't Happen Here remains uniquely important, a shockingly prescient novel that's as fresh and contemporary as today's news.
"Written at white heat." —Chicago Tribune
"A message to thinking Americans." —Springfield Republican
"Not only [Lewis's] most important book but one of the most important books ever produced in this country." —The New Yorker

Dave Wood's Book Report, May 13, 2009In graduate school, I had the misfortune of reading almost all the criticism written about Minnesota's Sinclair Lewis, as part of my master's thesis. It's terrible stuff, much of it written by novelists who should have known better.
