"Main Street," the classic novel by Sinclair Lewis, isn't just a SINCLAIR LEWIS
book - it's a one-way ticket to Gopher Prairie, a town so
quintessentially Midwestern that even the cornstalks have an
opinion on proper decorum. Follow the adventures (or
misadventures) of Carol Kennicott, a city girl with dreams bigger

than her new husband's medical practice, as she takes on small-
town life with the enthusiasm of a squirrel at a nut festival. But

beware, Gopher Prairie isn't just any sleepy town; it's a place
where the local gossip travels faster than light and conformity is
the favorite dish served at every potluck. Lewis's razor-sharp wit
cuts through the American heartland like a hot knife through
butter, serving up a delightful satire that's as refreshing as a cold
glass of lemonade on a hot July day. Buckle up, because "Main
Street" is about to take you on a rollicking ride through the highs
and lows of trying to repaint a town that's perfectly content with
its shades of beige.

About the author










William Faulkner fue un narrador y poeta estadounidense, galardonado con el premio Nobel de literatura en 1949. Escribió novelas, relatos cortos, guiones cinematográficos, ensayos y una obra de teatro. Es principalmente conocido por sus narraciones situadas en el ficticio condado de Yoknapatawpha, basado en el condado de Lafayette, en Mississippi, donde él residió la mayor parte de su vida.

Faulkner es considerado universalmente como uno de los más importantes creadores de la literatura estadounidense en general y de la literatura sureña en particular, y como uno de los principales modernistas estadounidenses de la década de 1930, siguiendo la tradición experimental de escritores europeos como James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust y Franz Kafka y conocido por su uso de técnicas literarias innovadoras, como el monólogo interior, la inclusión de múltiples narradores o puntos de vista y los saltos en el tiempo dentro de la narración.

Su influencia es notoria en la generación de escritores hispanoamericanos de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. García Márquez en su Vivir para contarla y Vargas Llosa en El pez en el agua admiten su influencia en la narrativa.
