| Description: | In Work of Art three generations of the Weagle family grow up in and work for boarding houses, inns, and hotels. The focus is on two brothers, Myron and Ora, of the second generation. Poetic, ethereal Ora could not wait to escape hotel drudgery, though never too proud to ask plodding Myron for money. Sinclair Lewis, as always, tells a great yarn: this time about the ups and downs in a rising America’s unending pursuit of craftsmanship and material success.—Goodreads [Suggest a different description.] |

Author Bio for Lewis, Sinclair
Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) was a noted American writer. He became known in the 1920s for his books that satirized the spartan materialism and intolerance that typified life in small towns across the country. The word 'babbitt' (his book by that name written in 1922), is still used as a synonym for middle-class philistinism. He refused the Pulitzer Prize for Arrowsmith (1925) but accepted the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930, becoming the first American to be awarded that prize. (Chambers Biographical Dictionary)
