Sinclair Lewis, American author, social critic, novelist and playwright (February 7, 1885 - January 10, 1951) was born Harry Sinclair Lewis in the village of Sauk Centre, Minnesota. His works include Main Street, Babbit, and It Can't Happen Here. In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States (and the first from the Americas) to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was awarded "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 critical views of American capitalism and materialism between the wars. He is also respected for his strong characterizations of modern working women. Sinclair Lewis died of a heart attack in Rome, Italy aged 65. H. L. Mencken wrote of him, "[If] there was ever a novelist among us with an authentic call to the trade ... it is this red-haired tornado from the Minnesota wilds." He has been honored by the U.S. Postal Service with a postage stamp in the Great Americans series.
