About this ebook
Hemmotellun opiskelijapoika Howardin kommunismiflirttailu ärsyttää keskiluokkaisia vanhempia 1930-luvun Yhdysvaltoihin sijoittuvassa satiirisen pisteliäässä romaanissa, jonka pilkka osuu useampiin poliittisiin suuntiin. Synkeänhauska teos jäi Sinclair Lewisin viimeiseksi.
Sinclair Lewis
Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) was an American author and playwright. As a child, Lewis struggled to fit in with both his peers and family. He was much more sensitive and introspective than his brothers, so he had a difficult time connecting to his father. Lewis’ troubling childhood was one of the reasons he was drawn to religion, though he would struggle with it throughout most of his young adult life, until he became an atheist. Known for his critical views of American capitalism and materialism, Lewis was often praised for his authenticity as a writer. With over twenty novels, four plays, and around seventy short stories, Lewis was a very prolific author. In 1930, Sinclair Lewis became the first American to receive the Nobel Prize for literature, setting an inspiring precedent for future American writers.
