Harry Sinclair Lewis (February 7, 1885 – January 10, 1951) was an
American
novelist
,
short-story
writer, and
playwright
. In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States to be awarded the
Nobel Prize in Literature
, "for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humor, new types of characters." His works are known for their insightful and critical views of American society and
capitalist
values, as well as for their strong characterizations of modern working women.
He has been honored by the
U.S. Postal Service
with a
Great Americans series
postage stamp
Childhood and education
Born in the village of
Sauk Centre
,
Minnesota
, Lewis began reading books at a young age and kept a diary. He had two siblings, Fred (born 1875) and Claude (born 1878). His father, Edwin J. Lewis, was a physician and a stern disciplinarian who had difficulty relating to his sensitive, unathletic third son.
Lewis's mother, Emma Kermott Lewis, died in 1891. The following year, Edwin Lewis married Isabel Warner, whose company young Lewis apparently enjoyed. Throughout his lonely boyhood, the ungainly Lewis — tall, extremely thin, stricken with
acne
and somewhat popeyed — had trouble gaining friends and pined after various local girls. At the age of 13 he unsuccessfully ran away from home, wanting to become a drummer boy in the
Spanish-American War
.
In late 1902 Lewis left home for a year at Oberlin Academy (the then-preparatory department of
Oberlin College
) to qualify for acceptance by
Yale University
. While at Oberlin, he developed a religious enthusiasm that waxed and waned for much of his remaining teenage years. He entered Yale in 1903 but did not receive his
bachelor's degree
until 1908, having taken time off to work at
Helicon Home Colony
,
Upton Sinclair
's
cooperative
-living colony in
Englewood
,
New Jersey
, and to travel to
Panama
. Lewis's unprepossessing looks, "fresh" country manners and seemingly self-important loquacity made it difficult for him to win and keep friends at Oberlin and Yale. He did initiate a few relatively long-lived friendships among students and professors, some of whom recognized his promise as a writer.
