“Babbitt” by Sinclair Lewis

 From CT.org… 

The New York Times recently reviewed Babbitt by Sinclair Lewis under the subtitle: “The Novelist Who Saw Middle America as It Really Was.” The review also mentions Main Street by Lewis published two years earlier, 1920. Both novels, both works of fiction, both based on Lewis’ observations about small town America. Good reads for city planners, and entertaining.
