Sinclair Lewis: Difference between revisions

Lewis's earliest published creative work—romantic poetry and short sketches—appeared in the ''Yale Courant'' and the ''[[Yale Literary Magazine]]'', of which he became an editor. After graduation Lewis moved from job to job and from place to place in an effort to make ends meet, writing fiction for publication and to chase away boredom. While working for newspapers and publishing houses (and for a time at the [[Carmel-by-the-Sea, California|Carmel-by-the-Sea]], [[California]] writers' colony), he developed a facility for turning out shallow, popular stories that were purchased by a variety of magazines. He also earned money by selling plots to [[Jack London]], including one for the latter's unfinished novel ''[[The Assassination Bureau, Ltd]]''.
