For reasons I don't fully understand, I've been on a Sinclair Lewis kick lately.
In the past month or so, I've plowed through Main Street, Babbitt, Elmer Gantry, Arrowsmith and It Can't Happen Here. I haven't been able to find a copy of Dodsworth anywhere; I tried to force my way through Kingsblood Royal, but it was so awful I had to stop. I was especially amused by the dedication of Elmer Gantry: "To H.L. Mencken, with profound admiration" which was probably much funnier back when the book was originally published, and Mencken's coverage of the Scopes Trial was still fresh in everybody's mind but, hey... a laugh's a laugh. |
