About the Author
For the next two years Lewis worked as a journalist, and from 1910 to 1915, as an editor at various New York publish-ing houses. Following the publication of his first serious novel, Our Mr. Wrenn (1914), Lewis married Grace Livingstone Hegger, who worked at Vogue magazine. With the gradual success of his short stories, which began appearing in the Saturday Evening Post and other periodicals, Lewis could give up work as an editor and devote his full time to writing.
Main Street, Lewis's sixth novel and his first major success, was published in 1920. The first of Lewis's great novels of the 1920s, it drew on his experience in Sauk Centre. Set in Gopher Prairie, Minnesota, it satirized the conformity and narrow-mindedness of Middle America. Lewis would broaden his attacks on American provincialism, commercialism, racial big-otry, religious fundamentalism, and fascism with his novels Babbitt (1922), Arrowsmith (1925), Elmer Gantry (1927), Dodsworth (1929), and later, It Can't Happen Here (1935) and Kingsblood Royal (1947).
Despite the success of his novels (he won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1930) and the great wealth they earned, enabling him to live in both the United States and Europe, Lewis's personal life was dogged by unhappiness. After divorc-ing Grace Hegger in 1928, he married the newspaperwoman Dorothy Thompson, but that marriage soon fell apart. His son by his first wife was killed in World War II. Lewis's last years were plagued by alcoholism and loneliness. He died, alone, in Rome on January 10, 1951.
