More about the book
Sinclair Lewis’ world-famous satire of religious hypocrisy and the excesses of the Roaring ʼ20s. Universally recognized as a landmark in American literature, Elmer Gantry scandalized readers when it was first published. His portrait of a golden-tongued evangelist who rises to power within his church—a saver of souls who lives a life of duplicity, sensuality, and ruthless self-indulgence—captures a period marked by grotesque vulgarity. Elmer Gantry has been called the greatest, most vital, and most penetrating study of hypocrisy written since the works of Voltaire.
