The Sound and the Fury

""Main Street,"" the classic novel by Sinclair Lewis, isn't just a SINCLAIR LEWIS book - it's a one-way ticket to Gopher Prairie, a town so quintessentially Midwestern that even the cornstalks have an opinion on proper decorum. Follow the adventures (or misadventures) of Carol Kennicott, a city girl with dreams bigger than her new husband's medical practice, as she takes on small- town life with the enthusiasm of a squirrel at a nut festival. But beware, Gopher Prairie isn't just any sleepy town; it's a place where the local gossip travels faster than light and conformity is the favorite dish served at every potluck. Lewis's razor-sharp wit cuts through the American heartland like a hot knife through butter, serving up a delightful satire that's as refreshing as a cold glass of lemonade on a hot July day. Buckle up, because ""Main Street"" is about to take you on a rollicking ride through the highs and lows of trying to repaint a town that's perfectly content with its shades of beige.
