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.

Easter 2016

HAPPY EASTER!  Indeed, Easter is a time of resurrection of true renewal for all people.  Let us all pray for more kindness and understanding so that beautiful essence will flow to all the world's nations.

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.
