Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all timeWith Commentary by E. M. Forster, Dorothy Parker,H. L. Mencken, Lewis Mumford, Rebecca West,Sherwood Anderson, Malcolm Cowley, Alfred Kazin, Constance Rourke, and Mark Schorer"Main Street is the climax of civilization," Sinclair Lewis declared with a typical blend of seriousness and irony. "That this Ford car might stand in front of the Bon Ton Store, Hannibal invaded Rome and Erasmus wrote in Oxford cloisters." Main Street, the story of an idealistic young woman's attempts to reform her small town, brought Lewis immediate acclaim when it was published in 1920. It remains one of the essential texts of the American scene. Lewis Mumford observed: "In Main Street an American had at last written of our life with something of the intellectual rigor and critical detachment that had seemed so cruel and unjustified [in Charles Dickens and Matthew Arnold]. Young people had grown up in this environment, suffocated, stultified, helpless, but unable to find any reason for their spiritual discomfort. Mr. Lewis released them."Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951), was born in Sauk Centre, Minne-sota, and graduated from Yale in 1907; in 1930 he became the first American recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Main Street (1920) was his first critical and commercial success. Lewis's other noted books include Babbitt (1922), Arrowsmith (1925), Elmer Gantry (1927), Dodsworth (1929), and It Can't Happen Here (1935).

Trivial observation: There are more intelligent, broad-minded, and artistic people in a large city than in a small town, and more dwarves and unicycle riders as well. Which is exactly what you would expect for any trait or interest found at low levels in the general population. There is a large unicycle club in Minneapolis, but not in Little Falls. If you are wringing your hands over having no unicycle brethren, you should move to Minneapolis and join the club, and not waste time preaching the gospel of unicycles in Little Falls.Lewis spends much time belaboring that incandescently obvious observation, supporting it with a cast of cardboard characters. That said, he does give powerful descriptions of the land and weather, and the book is readable if you just ignore his incessant harping on the obvious.
