A review by bobbo49
Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis

5.0

I continue to marvel at the ability of Lewis' work to stand the test of time. This portrait of a power-grasping evangelical preacher who is, at the same time, a self-indulgent hypocrite and serial philanderer, is as trenchant today as when it was written 90 years ago. The myriad Literary and biblical references add to the power of the story, and the writing is crisp and direct. Another highly recommended classic.
