Sinclair Lewis and 'Babbitt'

AMERICAN CULTURE is often hard to dissect.  Yet some writers like Sinclair Lewis do a marvelous job of telling an engaging, Americanistic culture-shock story.  The Sinclair Lewis novel 'Babbitt' is an amazing creative and robustly satiric story of a middle-aged man mired in the weird transitions of his life of proverbial ups and downs.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
