Description

1905. Although his first book was about English romance, Newton Booth Tarkington, winner of two Pulitzer Prizes for The Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams, came to be known for his comical (and almost cynical) style of the Lost Generation that characterized the 1920's. The Conquest of Canaan begins: A dry snow had fallen steadily throughout the still night, so that when a cold upper wind cleared the sky gloriously in the morning the incongruous Indiana town shone in white harmony-roof, ledge, and earth as evenly covered as by moonlight. There was no thaw; only where the line of factories followed the big bend of the frozen river, their distant chimneys like exclamation points on a blank page, was there a first threat against the supreme whiteness.
