"It Can't Happen Here" is a political satire by Sinclair Lewis that describes a rural and provincial America after the 1929 stock market crash. The novel tells the story of Doremus Jessup, a Vermont newspaper editor, and his opposition to Buzz Windrip, a presidential candidate who, behind a populist speech, hides his intention to create a totalitarian society. The book includes a detailed glossary that deconstructs the game of mirrors between reality and fiction, revealing the underground and countercultural history of the USA.
Harry Sinclair Lewis was an American novelist, short-story writer, and playwright. In 1930, he became the first author from the United States 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." Lewis wrote six popular novels: Main Street (1920), Babbitt (1922), Arrowsmith (1925), Elmer Gantry (1927), Dodsworth (1929), and It Can't Happen Here (1935).
