Sinclair Lewis
Both a devastating, surprisingly contemporary portrait of a marriage falling apart and a grand tour of the Europe of a bygone era, Dodsworth is stamped with Sinclair Lewis' signature satire, which is wickedly observant of America's foibles - and great fun.

"Dodsworth" is a very well written and interesting novel authored by Sinclair Lewis. It is set in America and Europe in the late 1920s. Samuel Dodsworth is a middle age American family man and travels abroad with his wife. There are many characterizations about the differences in American and European Cultures. There are also some "mid life crisis" issues, although that term is not used. As is common of the era, there are numerous references to ethnicity that are now considered offensive.
The novel is really interesting to me. There is a certain time capsule element to the novel as it is both written and set between the two World Wars. Obviously Sinclair Lewis cannot know what is coming in a few years.
I am reading Sinclair Lewis novels in order of publication. Each novel stands on its own. However there are some vestiges of previous novels within this one. As an example is the city of Zenith in the United States.
I liked this novel a lot. I can imagine it not appealing to the taste of every reader. I enjoy Sinclair Lewis novels and read one very several months. Thank You....
A Very Good Novel About 1920s America and Europe

Sam has mixed feelings about his travels. There are scenes and people he enjoys, but Fran spoils much of the trip with her attitude about the people they meet, the service, etc. She seems to mostly want to go where she can be admired and party, and doesn’t at all like the same people as Sam. Eventually they break up, and Sam meets someone more congenial after wandering around alone for a long time. Then Fran’s great romance breaks up, and suddenly she wants to go home with Sam again.
The book, like the tour of Europe, seemed to go on too long, making scenes that ought to have been beautiful dull and tawdry after all the unsatisfactory company.
The trip and the book sort of went on too long
