A landmark in twentieth-century American literature, one of the most influential and widely read books of our time, this famous novel of life on Main Street, Gopher Prairie, mirrors with devastating honesty life on Main Streets from Albany to San Diego. Here, in a declared war on complacency and pettiness, Lewis lays bare the hypocrisy and self-seeking too often hidden behind the quiet facade of Main Street lives. First published in 1920, Main Street has an uncanny resonance seventy years later.
