About this listen
In 1920, future Nobel laureate Sinclair Lewis published his note-quite scathing, not-quite doting critique of American small-town life. “Main Street” was an early 20th-century bestseller and the novel responsible for puncturing the idealized image of American small town life.
Through his heroine Carol and her relationship with husband William Kennicott, Lewis presents a benighted hero who desires to make something grand of herself, but who is thwarted at every turn by the banality of her environment.
Although society has moved on since then, the novel still has something to say about American life.
