Synopsis "It Can't Happen Here"

It Can't Happen Here is a semi-satirical 1935 political novel by American author Sinclair Lewis. The novel was published during the heyday of fascism in Europe, which was reported on by Dorothy Thompson, Lewis' wife. The novel describes the rise of Berzelius Buzz Windrip, a demagogue who is elected President of the United States, after fomenting fear and promising drastic economic and social reforms while promoting a return to patriotism and traditional values. After his election, Windrip takes complete control of the government and imposes totalitarian rule with the help of a ruthless paramilitary force, in the manner of European fascists such as Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. The novel's plot centers on journalist Doremus Jessup's opposition to the new regime and his subsequent struggle against it as part of a liberal rebellion. It Can't Happen Here remains uniquely important, a shockingly prescient novel that's as fresh and contemporary as today's news.

Sinclair Lewis, el primer estadounidense en ganar el Premio Nobel de Literatura, nació en Sauk Centre, Minnesota, en 1885. Aunque se enorgullecía de sus raíces en el Medio Oeste, viajó extensamente y se interesó por diversos aspectos de la sociedad estadounidense, desde los negocios y la medicina hasta la religión y la vida en pueblos pequeños. Su preocupación por cuestiones de género, raza y los desposeídos en la sociedad hacen que su obra siga siendo vital y pertinente hoy en día. Como escribió Sheldon Norman Grebstein en su obra Sinclair Lewis, Lewis «fue la conciencia de su generación y bien podría ser la conciencia de la nuestra. Su análisis de los Estados Unidos de la década de 1920 es válido para los Estados Unidos de hoy. Sus profecías se han convertido en nuestras verdades y sus miedos en nuestros problemas más cruciales». Sinclair Lewis fue nominado al Premio Pulitzer por Main Street y Babbitt y ganó el premio por Arrowsmith (aunque lo rechazó). Fue miembro del Instituto Nacional de Artes y Letras y de la Academia Estadounidense de Artes y Letras. Murió en Roma en 1951.
