Harry Sinclair Lewis war ein amerikanischer Schriftsteller, der durch seine gesellschaftskritischen und satirischen Romane berühmt wurde. 1930 wurde ihm als erstem Amerikaner der Nobelpreis für Literatur zugesprochen.
“When the Critics Had a Surprise Party in Kansas City” (The Kansas Citizen, March 17th, 1927). “This is not the summit of Mt. Olympus, but the roof garden of the Ambassador hotel. This interesting study in smiling critics was taken on a bright Sunday afternoon, May 16, 1926, by Mrs. Roy B. Rutherford, wife of the pastor of the First Christian church. Sinclair Lewis just had finished his outline of Elmer Gantry. Left to right—Gilbert Frankau, English novelist, who might be called a militant tory; Sinclair Lewis, the author of Elmer Gantry, the season’s literary uproar; the Rev. L. M. Birkhead, pastor of All Souls Unitarian church, who worked with Mr. Lewis on the preacher novel; Clarence Darrow, the famous lawyer, writer and critic; E. Haldeman-Julius, publisher and debunker; Mrs. Birkhead and Mrs. Darrow. Mr. Lewis was living at the Ambassador. Mr. Darrow, in Kansas City to lecture on the Scopes trial, dropped in to see him. Mr. Frankau, just passing through, came up to renew his acquaintance with the American novelist. Mr. and Mrs. Birkhead had been assisting Mr. Lewis in the completion of the outline and were there when the informal tea party of iconoclasts happened. Mr. Haldeman-Julius was in town to hear Mr. Birkhead lecture on An American Tragedy.”
