Alia vast geographical range of the books in which, says Dr. Charles Francis
Potter, Sinclair Lewis is building a Yankee comedie humaine, WORK OF ART
must now be added—a tumultuous pageant of America centering in the spiritual
growth of one man who was not quite beaten by the Babbitts of life. Myron Weagle
is the Idealist in business, and his quest for the perfect hotel—a work of art—sends
him tumbling, climbing, dreaming from the American House in a Connecticut
village to the cathedral inns of St. Louis at Fair-time, boom-time Florida, and
New York in the Golden Age.
“In many ways the most original and finest novel Mr. Lewis has written,” writes
William Lyon Phelps, “I like it immensely!” You'll find WORK OF ART an even
more appealing novel than Arrowsmith, by the first American to win the Nobel
Prize for Literature, of whom this year’s Nobel Prize Winner, Ivan Bunin, says,
“He is the greatest living author.” How many of the books of Sinclair Lewis have
you read? Here, for your convenience, is a check-list of his works, which are
