Autor

James Branch Cabell was an American author who wrote fantasy fiction and belles-lettres. He was born April 14, 1879, and died May 5, 1958. His peers, such as H. L. Mencken, Edmund Wilson, and Sinclair Lewis, had a lot of respect for Cabell. People thought of his books as escapes, which fit in well with the style of the 1920s, when they were most popular. Cabell thought that lying was "the one unpardonable sin, not just against art, but against human welfare." Cabell's works are escapes, but they are also ironic and mocking. Mencken didn't believe Cabell was a romantic and called him "really the most acidulous of all the anti-romantics." His flashy heroes fight monsters the same way stockbrokers play golf. Cabell used art as a way to flee from real life, but Louis D. Rubin says that once an artist makes his ideal world, it is made up of the same things that make up the real world. In the 1930s, people became less interested in Cabell. This was partly because he didn't try to move out of his dream niche even though World War II was starting. Alfred Kazin said, "Hitler and Campbell did not live in the same universe."
