Mantrap is a 1926 novel by Sinclair Lewis.
Contents |
The plot concerns Ralph Prescott, a New York City Lawyer and his need to escape the stressful city life.
TIME said "[T]he book is rather a mediocre feat for the celebrated scorner of average men, literary grace, Pulitzer Prizes. The flaying of E. Wesson Woodbury may spoil a great many people's summer vacations, but far more malice could have been wrought, and more sales made, if the ending had not been so tediously dragged out. After paddling far up the stream of U. S. literature, Mr. Lewis has idly turned his canoe and shot some unexciting rapids."[1]
The novel was adapted into the 1926 film of the same name starring Clara Bow, Percy Marmont, Ernest Torrence, Ford Sterling, and Eugene Pallette, and directed by Victor Fleming.
