The Prodigal Parents
by Sinclair Lewis
"The revolt of fathers against the revolt of young people in the case of a typical middle-class family of four." Fred Cornplow, a clever middle-class realist, slowly wakes up, and his son Howard, who still plays sporadic football for his selfish college graduate daughter Sarah and old Truxon, think of him as an intellectually outdated, easy-going bank account that doesn't need to return to compassion or thoughtfulness. If you are a parent or mother with young or adult children; If you are a young man or a young woman caring for a wonderful world outside of a parent's shelter or college; If you're interested in human problems today, Sinclair Lewis' novel will draw you in and entertain you. With the genius of dramatizing the thoughts that stand on the threshold of every mind, he writes with loving sympathy about the problems of a successful man of fifty-five years, his son and daughter, his wife, his job.
