The first of his major novels of the 1920s, Sinclair Lewis' "Main Street" satirises the manners of the American Midwest. Here is the story of Carol Kennicott, who, to be accepted, must adapt to the ways of Gopher Prairie, Minnesota. This ground-breaking novel attacks conformism, commercialism, money-grabbing, and the decline in what Lewis saw as the American ideals of freedom and respect for individuality.
