George F. Babbitt is a successful real estate agent in the Midwest town of Zenith. He is wealthy, talkative, and prides himself on being a model citizen. However, he eventually faces a mid-life crisis, questioning the vanity of his bourgeois lifestyle and the consumerist society surrounding him. Sinclair Lewis's satirical masterpiece remains a definitive critique of American middle-class conformity.
Harry Sinclair Lewis was an American novelist, short-story writer, and playwright. In 1930, he became the first author from the United States to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was awarded "for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humor, new types of characters." Lewis wrote six popular novels: Main Street (1920), Babbitt (1922), Arrowsmith (1925), Elmer Gantry (1927), Dodsworth (1929), and It Can't Happen Here (1935).
