Sinopsis

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Sinclair Lewis, a controversial Nobel Laureate in Literature


First published in 1925, "Arrowsmith” is a novel by American author Sinclair Lewis that won the 1926 Pulitzer Prize (which Lewis declined with a scathing written response). The book was adapted by Hollywood as Arrowsmith in 1931.

“Arrowsmith” takes place in the fictional town of Elk Mills, Winnemac – the same fictional town and state that figure in several of Lewis's other novels. The novel follows the life of Martin Arrowsmith, a Midwestern physician. Disheartened successively by rural practice, the state of public health care, and the elitism of an urban clinic, Martin accepts a research position at an institute in New York that leads him, along with his wife, Leora, a nurse, to an epidemic-ravaged island...

"Arrowsmith” is often described as the first scientific novel considering it explores medical and scientific themes in a fictional way and it is difficult to think of an earlier book that does this.

    Josh, a lonely trapeze artist, thinks he's cursed. It's an old family superstition. He can't have sex on a day he flies or he'll fall. Maybe that's why he's never had a steady boyfriend, though sometimes he dreams of one. In his show, a strange melody plays in the background. It follows him and surfaces from time to time on the street. When Josh's uncle hears about the music, he tells his nephew to bring the old ring, passed down from generations since the time of the curse.
    
    
    Steve is a realtor who always reaches his goals, in sales or otherwise, and he moonlights as a dancer in an all-male review on The Strip. All his friends his age are married, and his best friend's wife Genie wants to see him hitched, too. He's a little bit challenged in the relationship department, though. He has some growing up to do, or maybe it's his problem in bed, where he's somewhat one-sided.
    
    
    Steve and Josh meet one crazy night when Josh breaks all the rules used to protect him from the curse. After that, he runs. If it wasn't for Genie's matchmaking, Josh and Steve might never see each other again. Though not yet ready for a boyfriend, Josh does need a realtor. What a good way for he and Steve to get to know each other, while Josh works up the courage to tell Steve about the curse.
    
    
    Still unaware of Josh's problem, Steve falls in love with him. When Steve finds out about the curse thing, it's a big disappointment, but he wants Josh anyway. There's no doubt Josh is worth the wait.
    
    
    Maybe the curse isn't real after all. Can lonely Josh overcome his fear of it? Can horndog Steve handle a curse? Is the answer in the ancient ring?
