--- Sinclair Lewis, Babbit Babbitt, first published in 1922, is a novel by Sinclair Lewis. Largely a satire of American culture, society, and behavior, it critiques the vacuity of middle-class American life and its pressure toward conformity. An immediate and controversial bestseller, Babbitt is one of Lewis's best-known novels and was influential in the decision to award him the Nobel Prize in literature in 1930. The word Babbitt entered the English language as a person and especially a business or professional man who conforms unthinkingly to prevailing middle-class standards.
