On this day in 1930, a Swedish newspaper reporter telephoned - TopicsExpress

On this day in 1930, a Swedish newspaper reporter telephoned Sinclair Lewis to tell him that he had won the Nobel Prize in literature. Lewis thought it was a practical joke and began to imitate the mans accent. But it was not a joke: Lewis was, in fact, the first American to win the Nobel Prize in literature. He wasnt sure he deserved it and told a friend at the time, This is the end of me ... I cannot live up to it. He used his Nobel lecture to talk about all the other writers that might have been chosen: Theodore Dreiser, Sherwood Anderson, Eugene ONeill, and Willa Cather; and he ended the lecture by mentioning the younger writers he considered the future of American literature, including Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner, each of whom had just published his first few books. Lewis said, Young Americans ... are doing such passionate and authentic work that it makes me sick to see that I am a little too old to be one of them. --thanks to Garrison Keillor
