1905. Although his first book was about English romance, Newton
Booth Tarkington, winner of two Pulitzer Prizes for The Magnificent
Ambersons and Alice Adams, came to be known for his comical (and
almost cynical) style of the Lost Generation that characterized the
1920's. The Conquest of Canaan begins: A dry snow had fallen
steadily throughout the still night, so that when a cold upper wind
cleared the sky gloriously in the morning the incongruous Indiana
town shone in white harmony-roof, ledge, and earth as evenly
covered as by moonlight. There was no thaw; only where the line of
factories followed the big bend of the frozen river, their distant
chimneys like exclamation points on a blank page, was there a first
threat against the supreme whiteness. See other titles by this
author available from Kessinger Publishing.
