Hello Ladies how can I get a copy of the book I'm in England UK .

💖

What an awesome video thank you sir.

Awesome job ladies. I remember reading Alvin Karpis’ biography when I was maybe 11 years old one summer. I loved it! Great book and I really was deeply fascinated about his life story. I became a huge fan of his.

I'm literally ordering several of his books right now and I'll read them over the next few weeks. Thank you for this video

Do you kmow if Karpis ever cross paths socially with John Dillinger in Minnesota. THANKS

Raymond Floyd was also public enemy #1

It is incredible that in the 21st century, Lewis' readers feel that the author is a misanthrope, when from a distance - I am from Venezuela and I finished reading the novel - it is perfectly clear how petty the Yankee can be.

Alvin was sent back to Canada Montreal when he got out of prison there is a great interview with him walking around the city

Thanks for this! Under the pinched circumstances--less than an hour--you do a great job of covering many aspects of his career as well as his major works and a few of his minor ones. This is very helpful to me. I'd note that, with respect to the way topical (e.g. sociological/cultural, political, scientific, historical) interests of their day drove so much of their work, Lewis reminds me a lot of his contemporaries Upton Sinclair and, though across the sea and writing in a different vein, HG Wells. Perhaps one reason he isn't read as much today is because his work is so closely connected to the 1920s? (To me, Sinclair's writing about sex and sexual desire in Babbit and Main Street feels constrained. But the mores and taboos of mainstream publishing were much more conservative then, and so it's likely that he had to tread lightly where that was concerned.) His work feels a little dusty, but it is good and I agree that Lewis deserves continued readership. Mr Coleman does a good job emphasizing how many of Lewis's books' core themes still resonate today. Only thing I would've liked to know a little more of was who Lewis was as a person--what was his personality like? This is touched on here and there, but not enough to give me a sense on the sort of man he was. I'll definitely be reading his Nobel Prize speech though. Thanks for the thoughtful overview and discussion!!

My mother Delores Marie Lynch Ramsey county Minnesota born 1925. Moms maiden name Bryant.

This was fantastic. I read Robert Livesey"s book when it was a new release.(and a few times since) and also another titled Public Enemy Number One with Bill Trent. I"ll be ordering a copy ASAP

Very good information. Volney Davis was my great uncle.

This was great! So informative and fun. It is February 4th, 2022 about 6 mos. since moving back to St. Paul after 20 years away and I've been trying to get hikes in in all my favorite parks and places. Afton, Willie O'Brien, Como, The Fish Sunflower fields etc. I was searching for a Donna Nauman which brought me here. She counseled me once through Metro East back in the 90's and we talked then about how great it was to hike and commune with and in nature. I don't think this is the same person but a great bit of synchronicity anyway! Happy New Year and Happy Hiking all! Perhaps I'll join you one day ;) Oh and I keep seeing wild turkeys everywhere!

st paul alberta?

Are the Wabasha Caves the Castle Royal Restaurant of the latter 1970's ? Worked there as a bus boy and a car parker.

Love all his books, on Kingsblood Royal now

Mr Coleman what an excellent talk. I appreciate your thoughts and wit. As a 51 year old male here in the UK I’m ashamed to say just discovered Lewis and Main St. What a discovery, still reads fresh today

GOOD SHOW !

Starting to read Main Street right now! Hoping for a great read; Got the Barnes & Noble edition.
