"Babbit" is a seminal novel by Sinclair Lewis, published in 1922, which sharply satirizes the American middle class and its preoccupation with material success. The protagonist, George F. Babbitt, is a real estate agent in the fictional city of Zenith, who becomes increasingly disillusioned with his life dictated by social status, conformity, and business ethics. The narrative follows his struggles with societal norms and his attempts at rebellion, painting a picture of the conflicts within the American Dream during the Roaring Twenties.
