About this listen

A sharp, satirical dive into the life of George F. Babbitt, a successful but deeply dissatisfied middle-aged businessman in 1920s America.

As Babbitt grapples with the suffocating monotony of suburban life, societal expectations, and his own unfulfilled desires, Lewis paints a timeless portrait of conformity, materialism, and self-deception.

A biting critique of the American Dream, Babbitt explores the search for meaning in a world that seems more obsessed with status than substance.
