Instead of only running the usual end-of year sum-ups and fillers, I’m launching the Byblos column and offering the Ten Books of Christmas: every day I’m publishing an original piece of mine on one of the books of the year I found most notable-books old and new, fiction and nonfiction, whether inspired by covid, confinement, covfefe or just the libidinous, inebriating pleasure of reading. This year I’m doing something a little different. It helps us, and no doubt you, exhausted reader, to take a break from outrage and lurid politics. The Ten Books of Christmas: Between Christmas and New Year’s FlaglerLive customarily reduces production.
The Library of America reissued the two novels in one volume in 1993, and re-issued three more a few years later. Sinclair Lewis’s “Main Street” and “Babbitt” appeared in 19 to immense acclaim.
