| Publisher Description: Alice Adams is Booth Tarkington's insightful exploration of the world of social aspirations and status seeking. The heroine is a reluctant participant in her family's grand plan to move upward in small town society. Though generally overlooked today, Tarkington's social criticism lacks the acid taste of his contemporary, Sinclair Lewis. Tarkington invites us not to despise the shallow nature of the Adams family's ambition, but to laugh at it. |
