    Extractions: Who is Sinclair Lewis? Harry Sinclair Lewis, American novelist, playwright, and social critic who gained popularity with satirical novels in the early 1900’s. Sinclair Lewis won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930; he was the first American to win the prize. He won the prize because of his vivid and powerful manner of writing coupled with his wit and humor. He wrote 22 novels and three plays. Lewis often criticized the American way of living in a pessimistic manner; his own view of things though was optimistic. Lewis was born in Sauk Centre, in the heart of Minnesota. Lewis was the third son of a doctor. His mother was the daughter of a Canadian doctor. She died when he was six years old. Lewis’ father remarried a year later. Lewis' stepmother read to him often and he was privy to the hundreds of volumes of his father’s medical books. At the age of 13 Lewis ran away from home to become a drummer boy in the Spanish-American War. He did not get very far though; his father found him at the railroad depot and took him home. bodyOffer(31891) In 1902 Lewis entered the Oberlin Academy in Ohio, and shortly thereafter moved to Yale University and started writing for the Yale Literary Magazine. During summer vacation one year Lewis traveled to England and then tiring of college he went to Panama to work on the Panama Canal. Lewis also worked as a janitor at Upton Sinclair’s Helicon Hall. It was during this time, 1906 – 1907, that Lewis tried his hand at freelance writing. In 1908 he received his Masters of Arts and began working for publishing houses and magazines in Iowa, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Carmel and New York City.

    Extractions: Lewis, Sinclair 1885-1951, American novelist, b. Sauk Centre, Minn., grad. Yale Univ., 1908. Probably the greatest satirist of his era, Lewis wrote novels that present a devastating picture of middle-class American life in the 1920s. Although he ridiculed the values, the life-styles, and even the speech of his characters, there is affection behind the irony. Lewis began his career as a journalist, editor, and hack writer. With the publication of Main Street (1920), a merciless satire on life in a Midwestern small town, Lewis immediately became an important literary figure. His next novel, Babbitt (1922), considered by many critics to be his greatest work, is a portrait of an average American businessman, a Republican and a Rotarian, whose individuality has been erased by conformist values. Arrowsmith (1925; Pulitzer Prize, refused by Lewis) satirizes the medical profession, and Elmer Gantry (1927) attacks hypocritical religious revivalism.

The son of a country doctor, he grew up in his birthplace of Sauk Centre, Minnesota, the prairie village that inspired many of his acerbic portrayals of American life and manners. In 1903 he entered Yale University, where he wrote for the Yale Literary Magazine. Lewis briefly interrupted his studies to live at Helicon Hall, Upton Sinclair's abortive utopian community in New Jersey, but graduated from Yale in 1907. Afterwards he roamed the United States working as a freelance editor and journalist, eventually settling in New York City to search for employment in the publishing business.
