"It's one of our favorite American myths that broad plains necessarily make broad minds, and high mountains make high purpose." ― Sinclair Lewis, Main Street Main Street (1920) was Sinclair Lewis's very first novel. Turning a spotlight on the hypocrisy and pettiness of middle America, the novel tells the story of Carol Milford Kennicott and her struggles with the small-town mentality of Gopher Prairie, Minnesota. With its publication, the author immediately established himself as a master of political and social satire, a talent that led to his 1930 Nobel Prize for Literature.
