"The novel that foreshadowed Donald Trump’s
authoritarian appeal."—Salon
It Can’t Happen Here is the only one of Sinclair Lewis’s
later novels to match the power of Main Street, Babbitt,
and Arrowsmith. A cautionary tale about the fragility of
democracy, it is an alarming, eerily timeless look at how
fascism could take hold in America. Written during the

Extrait
The son of a country doctor, Harry Sinclair Lewis (1885–1951) was born in Sauk Centre, Minnesota. His childhood and early youth were spent in
the Midwest, and later he attended Yale University, where he was editor of the literary magazine. After graduating in 1907, he worked as a
reporter and in editorial positions at various newspapers, magazines, and publishing houses from the East Coast to California. He was able to give
this work up after a few of his stories had appeared in magazines and his first novel, Our Mr. Wrenn (1914), had been published. Main Street
(1920) was his first really successful novel, and his reputation was secured by the publication of Babbitt (1922). Lewis was awarded a Pulitzer
Prize for Arrowsmith (1925) but refused to accept the honor, saying the prize was meant to go to a novel that celebrated the wholesomeness of
American life, something his books did not do. He did accept, however, when in 1930 he became the first American writer to receive the Nobel
Prize for Literature. During the last part of his life, he spent a great deal of time in Europe and continued to write both novels and plays. In 1950,
after completing his last novel, World So Wide (1951), he intended to take an extended tour but became ill and was forced to settle in Rome,
where he spent some months working on his poems before dying.
Michael Meyer, PhD, a professor of English at the University of Connecticut, previously taught at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte
and the College of William and Mary. His scholarly articles have appeared in such periodicals as American Literature, Studies in the American
Renaissance, and Virginia Quarterly Review. An internationally recognized authority on Henry David Thoreau, he is a former president of the
Thoreau Society and the coauthor of The New Thoreau Handbook, a standard reference. His first book, Several More Lives to Live: Thoreau’s
Political Reputation in America, was awarded the Ralph Henry Gabriel Prize by the American Studies Association. In addition to The Bedford
Introduction to Literature, his edited volumes include Frederick Douglass: The Narrative and Selected Writings.
Gary Scharnhorst is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of English at the University of New Mexico, editor of American Literary Realism, and editor
in alternating years of American Literary Scholarship.

Table of Contents
Introduction
Sinclair Lewis enjoyed a brilliant career in the 1920s portraying and satirizing what he regarded as the mediocrity, materialism, corruption, and
hypocrisy of middle-class life in the United States. His five major novels of the twenties—Main Street (1920), Babbitt (1922), Arrowsmith (1925),
Elmer Gantry (1927), and Dodsworth (1929)—were all bestsellers that served to hold a mirror up to the parochialism and provincialism of that
decade. A good many Americans winced at their own reflections in those novels, but they eagerly bought Lewis’s iconoclastic books, because,

"Pass it on to our children!" 14 janvier 2014

Format: Format Kindle

The price of $7.99, happily paid for this Lewis' kindle, is so much cheaper than the heavy price of my
first clandestine acquaintance with the same book during the years of my USSR youth in the fifties: it
well could be from 5 to 7 years in labor camps, so I was really lucky then to escape this punishment,
given for any anti-Soviet reading. Well, Mr. Lewis himself had nothing to do with such an
interpretation of the book: he was writing about the threat of fascism, not of socialism. But Stalin's
censors were quite shrewd in their understanding that practice of fascist hell in America would look
just a bit too familiar for readers in a socialist paradise here. I have no boldness to comment the
excellent book itself (it's about the same as to comment Dostoyevsky's "The Possessed", which was
as clear warning about horrors of Communism for the Russian readers). Unfortunately, neither
masterpiece was believed by their respective societies, so the best comments to them are made
now not by readers, but by life. Now it's a life, which is very different from the thirties: though terms
like "fascism", "capitalism" or "socialism" are still widely used, but for the majority of our politicians
(both in the USA and elsewhere) they are hardly anything today but a purely technological means to
hide their lust for immense power and immense wealth. That's – for modern politicians. As for
modern voters – I can't agree with Mr. Gary Scharnhorst's afterword: "Lewis’s message— his protest
of middle-class complacency and intellectual regimentation, what we today call “political correctness”
on both the left and the right— remains as relevant and timely as ever". With all my love to optimism,
I think that in our sad reality this book isn't timely any more. Which doesn't make it less great, of
course. What's the use to read it most attentively in our 2014 then (except pure pleasure of a fine
literature's taste, naturally)? Well, another American author, Mr. Ray Bradbury, saw this use in his
"Fahrenheit 451", where a few fugitives from the book-burning world were learning pages of Bible,
Shakespeare, Aristophanes, Thoreau and other treasures by heart. Because they were thinking:
"We'll pass the books on to our children, by word of mouth, and let our children wait, in turn, on the
other people. A lot will be lost that way. But you can't MAKE people listen. They have to come round
in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up under them. It can't last".
Being an optimist I believe too with all my heart that it can't last and, thus, "It Can't Happen Here"
does certainly deserve to be passed on to our good children "by word of mouth", - so, please, read it!

Sinclair Lewis describes how America could find itself slipping into fascism. I say it couldn't be
published today, because - even though it was written in 1935 - it sounds too much like the politics of
2016. The similarities to the rise of Trump are too numerous to list. It should be required reading for
Americans voting in this election - or in any election in the future.
It CAN Happen Here (unless we are vigilant) 16 juillet 2016
Par Joyce F. Keller - Publié sur Amazon.com
Achat vérifié
This book was written at a time when the world was descending into a time of Fascist dictatorships
and war. In the USA, symptoms of what was happening in the world began to spring up and thus the
title "It Can't Happen Here" which is what many people think about Fascism. Today we worry "still"
about Communism and Terrorism so the idea of Fascism as a reality for our country once again
seems far removed. But Sinclair Lewis shows us how easy it is to descend into a Fascist mindset--especially since Fascism (according to Mussolini) is just another word for Corporatism and if we
aren't a Corporate State then I don't know who in the world could possibly reflect the ideals of
Corporatists better than those of our country. In this election cycle we even have a possible Fascist
Dictator running for President. And of all the things we should be afraid of, it is having someone
entertaining the possibly of the leadership of our country with desires that clearly emulate those of a
Hitler or a Mussolini. "It Can't Happen Here" is what we all like to think but the dark clouds of a
Fascist State are beginning to gather on the horizen of all our lives once again!

The book tells the tale of a populist Senator who runs for the presidency and wins thanks to a raft of
regressive policy promises and how the implementation of those policies affect the main character in
the book, a small town newspaper editor in Vermont. Despite being written in the late 1930's, the
parallels between the Senator's campaign and the campaign of a certain buffoonish reality-TV show
character today are striking...and incredibly eerie.

What happens once the Senator wins office is a chilling reminder that fascism can indeed take root
anywhere, including here, given the right circumstances and personalities. The people that should
read this book are those who are even toying with the idea of electing an uncouth and bullying
man-child to the nation's highest and most powerful office today.
At a different time, I may not have found the book so compelling, but given the current political
environment and it's most vocal politician, at this particular time the book is riveting...and a scary
warning of what could be.

A populist candidate connects with the disaffected masses in economic hard times. Fear and
promises propel Buzz Windrip to power and to corrupt wealth. His Machiavellian veep runs the
militarized government, where only cronies reap promised benefits. Growing dissent is crushed by
the burgeoning police force, and government control of media. Foreign wars are sought, to distract
citizens from domestic troubles.
Sound familiar? Buzz Bush the puppet of Cheney? Trump's rhetoric resonates with Windrip's now.
This cautionary tale belongs in classrooms and book clubs in 2016, before the presidential election.
It Can't Happen Here, hope "Dormouse" Jessup, a liberal newspaper editor in Vermont, and his
friends. It destroys their familiar peaceful life, and radicalizes them. Too late? Was liberalism too
mousey?
Enjoy Sinclair Lewis's hilarious reporting of propagandists and their speech, often comparable to
1984.
