George Follansbee Babbitt is a middle-aged realtor in Zenith, Ohio. Unimaginative, self-important, and vaguely dissatisfied, he tries to alter the pattern of his life by flirting with liberalism and having an affair - only to find that his dread of ostracism is greater then his desire for escape. Lewis's seventh novel gave the language a word for a smug person who conforms to middle-class conventions.

Review
"Babbitt is an authentic modern American classic, a biting satire of middle-American values that retains much of its poignancy today."
