Summary

In 'The Greatest Works of Sinclair Lewis,' readers are immersed in the world of one of America's most celebrated authors. Known for his satirical portrayals of small-town America, Lewis's collection offers a sharp critique of society, tradition, and the American dream. His literary style combines keen observation with biting wit, making his works both entertaining and thought-provoking. The novels included in this collection, such as 'Main Street,' 'Babbitt,' and 'Elmer Gantry,' showcase Lewis's talent for creating memorable characters and compelling narratives, all set against the backdrop of early 20th century America. Sinclair Lewis, a Nobel Prize winner in Literature, was a keen observer of American society and a masterful satirist. Drawing inspiration from his own experiences growing up in small-town America, Lewis's works often explore themes of conformity, greed, and the illusion of the American dream. His writing continues to resonate with readers today, offering valuable insights into human nature and society at large. I highly recommend 'The Greatest Works of Sinclair Lewis' to readers interested in American literature, social commentary, and satirical fiction. Lewis's ability to blend humor with incisive social critique makes this collection a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the complexities of American society.

    Annie and her devoted but comically incompetent childhood sweetheart Sam are the owners and operators of Annie's, a gourmet sandwich shop, home to the legendary Paul Bunyan Special Sandwich—their "nutritionally challenged continual source of income and marital harmony and local fame." But into their mostly charmed marriage comes a scary medical diagnosis for Annie—and the overwhelming challenge of finding a way to help Sam go on without her. Annie decides to leave Sam step-by-step instructions for a future without her and considers her own replacement in his heart and their bed. But her best-laid plans grind to a halt with the unexpected appearance of Ursula, Annie's Manhattan diva of a mother, who brings her own brand of chaos and disruption into their lives. Minus Me is a poignant and hilarious novel about the bonds of marriage, the burdens of maternal love, and the courage to face mortality.

    Always Happy Hour weaves tales of young women who are deeply flawed, intensely real, and who struggle to get out of their own way. These women love to drink and have sex; they make bad decisions with men who love them too much or too little; they haunt gas stations, public pools, and dive bars, seeking understanding in the most unlikely of places; and, although each shoulders the weight of different baggage, they all suspect they deserve better. In this collection of acerbic and ruefully funny stories, Miller takes a microscope to love and intimacy, evoking the reticence of love among the misunderstood, the grit and comfort of bad habits that can't be broken, and the beat-by-beat minutiae of ill-fated relationships.

    The author of Dad Humor offers an entertaining look at American history’s geniuses, leaders, and dunderheads in a clever quest to define brilliance.   With dry humor and a wealth of fascinating trivia, Bart King explores what it means for a person to be brilliant. What he discovers is that brilliant people are those who walk farther, think deeper, and talk louder than the rest of us. They do what it takes to get the job done—and then some.   The masters of brilliance profiled here include presidential candidate John Lindsay, who released chickens into his opponent’s crowd to spur on a debate; the first female journalist, Anne Newport Royall, who forced an interview with John Quincy Adams after catching him skinny dipping; and Benjamin Franklin, who of course coined the phrase "A penny saved is a penny earned," but also offered the lesser known "A man who lives on hope, dies farting."
