In 'It Can't Happen Here', Sinclair Lewis presents an alarming and eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America. Written during the Great Depression, this novel juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the nation. A cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, which remains shockingly prescient today.
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).
