Main Street bySinclair Lewis

Sinclair Lewis was the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize for literature – in 1920 Main Street was the novel that established him as one of the most brilliant satirists of his day. His superbly mocking caricature of the small-town mind immediately became the centre of a bitter controversy that raged throughout the country. It became the best seller of a generation, selling over a million copies and being translated into a dozen languages.

In this classic satire of small-town America, beautiful young Carol Kennicott comes to Gopher Prairie, Minnesota, with dreams of transforming the provincial old town into a place of beauty and culture. But she runs into a wall of bigotry, hypocrisy and complacency. The first popular bestseller to attack conventional ideas about marriage, gender roles, and small town life, Main Street established Lewis as a major American novelist.
