    This classic by Sinclair Lewis shattered the sentimental American myth of happy small-town life with its satire. Main Street attacks the conformity and dullness of early 20th Century midwestern village life in the story of Carol Milford, the city girl who marries the town doctor. Her efforts to bring culture to the prairie village are met by a wall of gossip, greed, and petty small-minded bigotry. Lewis's complex and compelling work established him as an important character in American literature Front Cover -- Front Matter -- Title -- Contents -- Copyright -- INTRODUCTION TO THE NOVEL -- SINCLAIR LEWIS AND MAIN STREET -- A BRIEF SYNOPSIS -- LIST OF CHARACTERS -- CRITICAL COMMENTARIES -- CHAPTERS 1 & 2 -- CHAPTERS 3 & 4 -- CHAPTERS 5 -7 -- CHAPTERS 8-10 -- CHAPTERS 11-13 -- CHAPTERS 14-16 -- CHAPTERS 17 & 18 -- CHAPTERS 19 & 20 -- CHAPTERS 21-23 -- CHAPTERS 24-27 -- CHAPTERS 28-32 -- CHAPTERS 33 & 34 -- CHAPTERS 35-38 -- CHAPTER 39 -- CHARACTER ANALYSES -- CAROL -- DR.

    Wendell Berry's continued fascination with the power of memory continues in this treasured novel set in 1976. Andy Catlett, a farmer whose hand was lost in an accident only eight months prior, wanders the streets of San Francisco. As his perspective filters through his anger over his loss and the harsh city that surrounds him, Andy begins to remember: the people and places that wait 2,000 miles away in his Kentucky home, the comfort he knew as a farmer, and his symbiotic relationship to the soil. Andy laments the modern shift away from the love of the land, even as he begins to accept his own changed relationship to the world 1. Darkness Visible -- 2. An Unknown Room -- 3. Remembering -- 4.

    There is something about Lux. He's a thief and a liar; he is selfish and self-absorbed and hopelessly vain. But while he looks like Lana Turner and romances like a true Casanova, Lux is actually more like a bumbling, oblivious Mary Tyler Moore. Amid shouting mobs, police shields, and the hurled bricks of the '80s Brixton riots, Lux is searching for Pearl—the love of his life. Her home has been burned down by a stray petrol bomb, and she's searching for sanctuary along with her friend Nicky. Nicky is traumatized after having killed her computer—her best friend—and is herself being followed by Happy Science PLC. It is their plan to breed a superior next generation by implanting the sperm of genius men inside beautiful women. She knows too much about the plan. Lux is helped in his quest by Kalia, a castaway of Heaven attempting to get back in God's good graces by performing one million good deeds over countless lifetimes. There's also a thrash metal band, a riot-party, past lives, and KY.

    Set in the town of Gruel, South Carolina, this first novel by George Singleton, master of the comic short story, is the tale of a young man named Novel (his brother's name is James; his sister's is Joyce), a professional snake handler who stumbles across strange doings while he sits in a motel room writing his autobiography. As he struggles to recount his life story, he uncovers-and finds himself starring in-a decades-old town secret, one that can blow him and his fellow citizens sky-high. Funny as only George Singleton can be, full of Southern mischief and wit, Novel is a crazed and crazy fictional whirlwind of drinking, motel-living, art-forgery-committing, pool-playing redneck charm Front Cover -- Front Matter -- PRAISE FOR Novel -- Half Title -- ALSO BY GEORGE SINGLETON -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Part 1 -- 1 -- 2 -- 3 -- 4 -- 5 -- 6 -- 7 -- 8 -- 9 -- 10 -- 11 -- 12 -- 13 -- 14 -- 15 -- Part 2 -- 16 -- 17 -- 18 -- 19 -- 20 -- 21 -- 22 -- Part 3 -- 23 -- 24 -- 25 -- 26 -- 27 -- 28 -- 29 -- 30 -- 31 -- 32 -- 33 -- 34 -- Back Matter -- Acknowledgments
