摘要

It has been several decades since I first read Sinclair Lewis' novel Elmer Gantry (Harcourt, Brace and Company, Inc., 1927) during high school. Lewis was awarded a Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930 for the body of his work, including this satirical novel of America's cultural beliefs, twisted ambitions, and religious hypocrisies. All of these themes and more were embodied in this story of Dr. Gantry, a charismatic, morally corrupt fundamentalist preacher. It is a classic piece of American literature,worthy of a reread even 80+ years after its original publication. As a way to either reacquaint you with this story or provide a brief introduction if unfamiliar, I offer the first and last sentences of the original text: Chapter 1, page 1: "Elmer Gantry was drunk. He was eloquently drunk, lovingly and pugnaciously drunk." Chapter 33, final paragraph, last sentence (Elmer Gantry speaking to his congregation): "We shall yet make these United States a moral nation!"
