"Although his 1st book was about English romance, Newton Booth Tarkington, winner of 2 Pulitzer Prizes, came to be known for his comical (& almost cynical) style of the Lost Generation that characterized the 1920's. Born to a middle class family in Indianapolis in 1869, he is forever connected to Indiana and the midwest, the part of the United States he wrote about in most of his works. Part of Tarkington's writing is the battle between the high and middle classes, both of which he experienced during his childhood. When the Panic of 1873 hit, Tarkington's family lost many of their comforts & securities. They resorted to renting houses in less fashionable neighborhoods. He also spent time in the middle class homes when his Uncle Newton Booth (his namesake) helped them with a house in the better part of Indianapolis. Although he was best know for his midwest stories, Booth Tarkington also served as a state representative & was a world traveler. He also lived in Kennebunkport, Maine (although he never lost his fondess for Indiana). He died in 1946 after a two month illness.";
