Babbitt, a middle-aged partner, with his father-in-law, in a real-estate firm. When the story begins, in April 1920, Babbitt is 46 years old. He has a wife, Myra; three children (Verona, 22; Ted, 17; and Tinka, 10); and a well-appointed house in the prosperous Floral Heights neighborhood of Zenith, a fictitious city in the equally fictitious state of Winnemac, which is adjacent to Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. (Babbitt does not mention Winnemac by name, but Lewiss later novel Arrowsmith elaborates on its location.) When Babbitt was published, newspapers in Cincinnati; Duluth; Kansas City; Milwaukee; and Minneapolis each claimed that their city was the model for Sinclairs Zenith.1 Cincinnati possessed perhaps the strongest argument for such a claim, because Lewis had lived there for a time while researching Babbitt. Lewiss own correspondence suggests, however, that Zenith is meant to be any Midwestern city with a population between about 200,000 and 300,000. Zeniths chief virtue is conformity, and its religion is boosterism. Prominent boosters in Zenith include Vergil Gunch, the coal-dealer; Sidney Finkelstein, the ladies-ready-to-wear buyer for Parcher & Steins department-store; Professor Joseph K. Pumphrey, owner of the Riteway Business College and instructor in Public Speaking, Business English, Scenario Writing, and Commercial Law; and T. Cholmondeley "Chum" Frink, a famous poet of dubious talent.</p>...1344610Babbit1919https://www.gandhi.com.mx/babbit-2/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/720782/7493d5a4-9776-472e-8b90-b3883e7fe126.jpg?v=638335939842270000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20131230000146162_W3siaWQiOiJjMTIwMThjMi0zMzlmLTQzNzEtYjc2OC1mNWFjN2NlNTAyOTIiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIwLCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjoyMCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6IklwcCIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjItMDctMTFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d1230000146162_<p>The book takes its name from the principal character, George F.
