The new issue of the Sinclair Lewis Society Newsletter is now out (Spring 2019). If you'd like a sample copy, e-mail Sally Parry at separry@ilstu.edu. It includes articles on Sinclair Lewis and James Joyce, the study of Ann Vickers in Spain, Dorothy Thompson and her advice to American women, and book burning in It Can't Happen Here.
The Sinclair Lewis Society was formed to encourage study of, critical attention to, and general interest in the work, career, and legacy of Sinclair Lewis. The Society works to facilitate a broader discussion of his writing among scholars, critics, teachers, students, book collectors, and readers everywhere.
Members of the Sinclair Lewis Society receive the bi-annual Sinclair Lewis Society Newsletter. We encourage scholarship concerning Sinclair Lewis, and we have provided a bibliography of primary and secondary sources concerning Lewis on our scholarly works page, as well as transcripts from an exclusive interview with Richard Lingeman, author of Sinclair Lewis: Rebel from Main Street. We also meet every few years in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, Lewis' hometown, for conferences and usually in connection with the annual Sinclair Lewis Days.
We welcome new members. The membership application is at https://english.illinoisstate.edu/the_society/membership.shtml.
