About the Item
Work of Art by Sinclair Lewis. Doubleday, Doran
Co., 1935. "This is the story of Myron Weagle and of America. Myron wanted to create the perfect hotel, a work of art. He worked and dreamed his way from bell boy in the American House in Black Thread Center, where Pa and Ma Weagle kept the brass-bound register on a swivel, to head of one of the six largest hotels in the world. His progress is a great panorama of America, done with sympathy and vitriol." In work of art three generations of the Weagle family grow up in and work for boarding houses, inns and hotels. Focus is on two brothers, Myron and Ora, of the second generation. Poetic, ethereal Ora could not wait to escape hotel drudgery, though never too proud to ask plodding Myron for money. Sinclair Lewis, tells a great story: this time about the ups and Downs in a rising America's unending pursuit of craftsmanship and material success.
