Can eden be re-entered after the fall?
One of the Lewis's First The bulk of the story takes place in his late teens andtwenties during the 1910's.He attends college where eventually he isbooted out for supporting a socialistic teacher.Carl turns this to hisadvantage as he tramps about the country doing jobs for short periods oftime and seeing America.Eventually, though, his interest is taken in bythe burgeoning airplane industry.With some saved money, he invests inlessons. Lewis captures the excitement of the airplane era -- tossingabout names like the Wright brothers and predicts what planes will do inthe future (which we take for granted today).Ericson becomes a premierepilot and races nationally.His fame becomes wide-spread. Fearing themortal dangers of flying an airplane, he retires.However, he meets Ruth,a woman who he falls in love with.Ultimately, they marry, but Carl has awandering heart.After some turmoil, he and his wife learn to avoid thestaticness of marriage and the another day another dollar routine. Lewisgoes everywhere in this book.Socialism, one of his persistent plots,plays a minor role in this book and doesn't jump out at the reader likeBabbitt.Also, some parts of the book were extremely dull and rambling. However, Lewis's main focal point is that people should live life and avoidthe dullness people get into.He states it best in the closing line: "How bully it is to be living, if you don't have to give up living inorder to make a living." ...

Editorial Review Product Description Anthony Di Renzo makes available for the first time since their original publication some eighty years ago a collection of fifteen of Sinclair Lewis’s early business stories. Among Lewis’s funniest satires, these stories introduce the characters, themes, and techniques that would evolve into Babbitt. Each selection reflects the commercial culture of Lewis’s day, particularly Reason Why advertising, self-help manuals, and the business fiction of the Saturday Evening Post. The stories were published between October 1915 and May 1921 (nine in the Saturday Evening Post, four in Metropolitan Magazine, one in Harper’s Magazine, and one in American Magazine). Because some things have not changed in the American workplace since Lewis’s day, these highly entertaining and unflinchingly accurate office satires will appeal to the fans of Dilbert and The Drew Carey Show. In a sense, they provide lay readers with an archaeology of white-collar angst and regimentation. The horror and absurdities of contemporary corporate downsizing already existed in the office of the Progressive Era. For an audience contemplating the death of the American middle class, Lewis’s stories provide an important retrospective on earlier times and a preliminary autopsy on the American dream. Appearing just in time to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the publication of Babbitt, this collection rescues Lewis’s best early short fiction from obscurity, provides extensive information about his formative years in advertising and public relations, and analyzes both his genius for marketing and his carefully cultivated persona as the Great Salesman of American letters.

Thank you, Sinclair Lewis
Marvelous Stories Display a Little-Known Side of Lewis The introduction provides an interesting background in terms of both America's history and the events of Lewis's own life.
Excellent Collection of Short Stories Definately, you can detect partsof Babbit in many of the characters in the book. All of the stories wereworth reading.Some are amusing, some sad, and a few happy.All of them,however are thought provoking. Overall, a great book to get a hold of,especially if you are a Sinclair Lewis fan.
I hope we are entering a Sinclair renaisance...

In 1915 women had few resources for rising above menial office work
of some interest, perhaps
Decent account of Women in the workplace. Lewis vividly describes the dullness and hopelessnesssurrounding typical "women's work" in the early 1900's.Lewisalso shows that marrying can also be a dead end in itself, especially whenone marries to simply escape working. I liked this book quite a bit. However, it lacked the bite and suspense of Ann Vickers or even MainStreet.This book should be read by Lewis fans or those with an interestin the early 20th century workplace. ... Read more |

I don't know who George F. Babbitt is.
Good read, but protagonist is a straw man But I'd like to alert young readers that despite Lewis' efforts to make Babbit sympathetic, he is a charicature. In my mid-forties, I've known many businessmen, seen many unexamined lives and mid-life crises. Even 80 years after Babbit was written (when conformity is less in vogue in the US) I've known many conformists. I haven't known anyone like Babbit. It is out of character for a people person like Babbit to be *so* fond of Paul and yet blind to Paul's needs.It is out of character for him to be so protective of Paul and yet so estranged from his own children. Enjoy the book and let it remind you to think for yourself and to be real, but don't let it convince you that businessmen are doomed to conformity and to sacrifice of all their ideals. To be good at business is to weild power and though we don't see it ni "Babbit", that power can be used for good. Babbit is almost as much a charicature as are Ayn Rand's businessmen heroes. Incidentally, as good as this was, I thought Lewis' "Arrowsmith" was better. ... Read more |
