Autorenporträt
Booth Tarkington, born Newton Booth Tarkington on July 29, 1869, in Indianapolis, Indiana, was a prominent American novelist and dramatist renowned for his interpretations of Midwestern American life. Educated at Purdue University and later Princeton University, Tarkington channeled his aristocratic upbringing into a writing career that vividly depicted both the aspirations and the complacencies of the American upper middle class (Tarkington, B., 'The Magnificent Ambersons'). His literary style frequently exhibited a blend of gentle satire and keen social observation, earning him considerable acclaim during the early 20th century. One of Tarkington's lesser-known works, 'His Own People' (1907), showcases his versatility in exploring themes of identity and cultural contrast, diverging from his more familiar Midwestern settings. Notably, Tarkington received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction twice, first for 'The Magnificent Ambersons' in 1919 and later for 'Alice Adams' in 1922, solidifying his place among America's literary elite. He was also a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Besides his acclaimed novels, Tarkington wrote numerous short stories, plays, and essays, contributing to the enduring depiction of the transformation of America from a rural, agrarian society to a modern, urbanized nation. Throughout his career, Tarkington's prolific output and cultural resonance have positioned him as a central figure in the American literary canon until his death on May 19, 1946.
