'Zenith is the finest example of American life and prosperity to be found anywhere.' Zenith is the Midwestern city where George F.Babbitt lives and works. He is a member of all the right clubs, and unquestioningly shares the same aspirations and ideas as his friends and fellow Boosters. A successful real estate agent, his business provides all the material trappings and comfort he thinks he ought to have.
A brilliant satire, it evokes an era and at the same time exposes a universal social malaise. Yet even complacent, conformistBabbitt dreams of romance and escape, and when his best friend does something to throw his world upside down, he rebels, and tries to find fulfilment in romantic adventures and liberal thinking.Hilarious and poignant, Babbitt turns the spotlight on middleAmerica and strips bare the hypocrisy of business practice, social mores, politics, and religious institutions. In his introduction and notes Gordon Hutner explores the novel's historical and literary contexts, and its rich cultural and social references.
