Babbitt
“Babbitt” by Sinclair Lewis is a compelling exploration of middle-class American life in the 1920s. The novel follows George F. Babbitt, a successful real estate agent in the fictional city of Zenith, as he grapples with the monotony and moral compromises of his existence. Lewis’s sharp wit and keen observations make Babbitt’s journey both humorous and poignant. I found myself reflecting on the timeless struggle between societal expectations and personal fulfillment.
