Sinclair Lewis is the perfect example of the false sense of time of the newspaper world. . . . [ellipsis in source] He was always dominated by an artificial time when he wrote Main Street. . . . He did not create actual human beings at any time. That is what makes it newspaper. Sinclair Lewis is the typical newspaperman and everything he says is newspaper. The difference between a thinker and a newspaperman is that a thinker enters right into things, a newspaperman is superficial.
