Birth Of Sinclair Lewis
The third and youngest son of a doctor, Lewis enjoyed reading and keeping a diary as a child. When he was 13, Lewis ran away from home to become a drummer boy in the Spanish-American War but his father found him and made him return.
Lewis attended Oberlin Academy and later Yale University. He took a break from his studies at Yale to work at Upton Sinclair’s Helicon Home Colony in New Jersey and travel to Panama. Lewis eventually returned to Yale, where he first published his writing in the Yale Courant and Yale Literary Magazine, where he also worked as an editor before graduating in 1908.
Lewis published his first book, Hike and the Aeroplane, in 1912 under the pseudonym Tom Graham. Two years later he published his first serious novel, Our Mr. Wrenn: The Romantic Adventures of a Gentle Man. In the coming years, he published The Trail of the Hawk: A Comedy of the Seriousness of Life and The Job. He also wrote serialized stories for magazines that were later expanded into book form – The Innocents: A Story for Lovers and Free Air.
During this period Lewis also moved to Washington, DC, to devote his full attention to writing. He spent several years working on a realistic novel about small-town life that eventually became Main Street. Published in 1920, Main Street was Lewis’ first major commercial success. It sold 180,000 copies in the first six months and about two million in the first few years. According to Lewis’ biographer, Main Street “was the most sensational event in twentieth-century American publishing history.”
Also during this era, Lewis wrote a number of short stories for magazines. Among those stories was “Little Bear Bongo,” which first appeared in Cosmopolitan magazine. Walt Disney Studios acquired the rights and made it into a cartoon short narrated by Dinah Shore as part of its 1947 Fun and Fancy Free.
