Synopsis

The short stories collected here reveal a cross-section of American life through sharply drawn characters, biting social observation, and understated emotional tension. Spanning decades and social classes, these works examine the hidden discontent of the middle class, the rigidity of small-town morality, and the often disillusioning gap between aspiration and reality. With ironic humor and a clear-eyed realism, these stories capture the spirit-and contradictions-of early 20th-century America.

Harry Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) was an American novelist, short-story writer, and playwright. In 1930, he became the first American writer to received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Best known for his novels, including Babbitt, Main Street, Dodsworth, and Elmer Gantry, this collection of his short stories is gathered from The Saturday Evening Post, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, and other popular magazines.
