  • This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Sinclair Lewis, a controversial Nobel Laureate in Literature

First published in 1919, "Free Air" is a road novel by American author and Nobel Laureate Sinclair Lewis. A silent film adaptation of the novel was also released in 1922.

"Free Air" follows the adventures of Claire Boltwood, an aristocratic New Englander who, in the early days of the 20th century, travels with her father by automobile from New York City to the Pacific Northwest, where she falls in love with a nice, down-to-earth young man...

"Free Air" was one of the first novels about an automobile-powered road trip across the United States, decades before Jack Kerouac's “On the Road,” dependable vehicles, and interstate highways. It offers fascinating accounts of America's little travelled, scenic byways, from Great Cloud, Minnesota to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone in Wyoming.

Autorenporträt
Born in 1885 in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, Sinclair Lewis grew up as the son of a country doctor. A bookish and imaginative child, he often felt out of place in his small-town surroundings. This sense of detachment later shaped his sharp critiques of American provincial life.After graduating from Yale in 1908, Lewis worked in journalism and publishing before finding success as a novelist. His 1920 novel Main Street became a sensation, exposing the narrow-mindedness of small-town America. He followed it with Babbitt, Arrowsmith, and Elmer Gantry, each offering bold social commentary.In 1930, Lewis became the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature for his vivid storytelling and satire. Despite struggles with alcoholism, he continued writing until his death in 1951. His legacy endures through his fearless critiques of American culture and society.
