Explanation To Books Cass Timberlane

This book was written late in the career of Sinclair lewis.He had fun with it ,but it was not without serious undertones or piercing social commentary. That said much of it highlights how what from a distance seems like banal self absorption is in fact the workings of a heart or mind searching for meaning.The book has a lot of froth to it , but also shadow and in spots it is deeply poignant.I adore the places where the author gives us word craft that is perfectly nuanced and moves like poetry with its work boots on ..so muscled and nimble that you forget how functional the words are.Mr.Lewis takes on the institution of marriage in this book with that odd mix of idealism and rank cynicism that is the hallmark of so much of his social commentary.The book has a good deal of humor in it and a lot of entertainment value. Its a joy to read out loud with dialog that never stalls -except in the most ingenious way..so that words dangle in the air after they are spoken. The two main characters are Judge Cass Timberlane ,and his love and wife Jinny. She is as smart as he and quick to his deep. This book can be read casually and enjoyed or read carefully and slowly which then creates an experience that transcends mere entertainment and leaves one musing about the characters and their times and ours too......

Judgment Appertaining To Books Cass Timberlane

Since I've already seen the movie (a LONG time ago), I pictured Spencer Tracy as Cass Timberlane, and Lana Turner as Jinny Marshland, even though neither one of them matched the descriptions in the book! The story was fast-paced, well-written and often amusing, as well as tragic. The interspersed descriptions of the myriad marriages, good and bad, in Grand Republic added to this interesting look at love and marriage in the 1940's. And I loved Cleo the cat!

Lewis demonstrates the adage that the more things change, the more they stay the same. While some of the events date the story to the World War II era, the issues of love, equality, and greed are as fresh as if just penned. Jinny's near-catastrophic love affair and east coast romp identify Lewis as a realist, the resurrected marriage makes him a romanticist, and his satire of American excess reminds me of the mildly Socialistic viewpoint of Babbit. The importance he gives to place predates the

Not his best, but I never tire of the scenes, settings, and stories of SL.

Without Sinclair Lewis, there would be no Jonathan Franzen. Not one of Lewis's better books, but nobody does snarky social criticism better.

Saw the end of a movie with the same title with Spencer Tracey and Lana Turner and decided to get the used book. (Betterworldbooks.com). That's how I discovered Dodsworth, which is one of my favorites. Going very slowly through the book because I have a lot going on now but I really like it. Sinclair Lewis is one of a kind -- what a writer! I love how every generation thinks they are the only ones who have problems in relationships but Mr. Lewis nails it with his descriptions of the right

One of the best books I ever read. Relationship issues have not changed. Think of a relationship. It is covered in this book. The characters are real.

I love Sinclair Lewis books, but this one took me awhile to get into. Still highly recommend, but I felt it dragged through the middle, the last 1/3 is great.
