About the author

Harry Sinclair Lewis (February 7, 1885 – January 10, 1951) was an American novelist, short-story writer, and playwright. In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States (and the first from the Americas) to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was awarded "for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humor, new types of characters." His works are known for their critical views of American capitalism and materialism between the wars. He is also respected for his strong characterizations of modern working women. H. L. Mencken wrote of him, "[If] there was ever a novelist among us with an authentic call to the trade ... it is this red-haired tornado from the Minnesota wilds." He has been honored by the U.S. Postal Service with a postage stamp in the Great Americans series.

Vi leker kung och andra historier

Sinclair Lewis romaner har förlänat honom ryktet som en av sin tids vassaste pennor, en utmärkelse som cementerades med att han tilldelades Nobelpriset i litteratur 1930. Berättelserna som samlas här är ett axplock ur författarens samlade produktion, texter som sträcker sig över genrer och temperament. Klassiskt eleganta berättelser om familjerelationer och romantik får ta plats bredvid mer makabra historier om en närliggande framtid som påminner alltför mycket om vår egen samtid. Detta är ett utmärkt exempel på amerikansk berättarkonst. Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) var en amerikansk författare. Lewis var den förste amerikanska författare som fick Nobelpriset i litteratur (1930).
