Main Street - $3.99
by Sinclair Lewis
Main Street examines life in small-town America in the early 1900s. Though he critiques the condescension displayed by some intellectuals, the bulk of Lewis' bitingly humorous satire focuses on the social restrictiveness and moral hypocrisy evident in many rural areas of the period, an idea that before Main Street was often masked by the desire for a benignly simplified life as idealized by some early 20th-century urbanites.
