Categorization is odious. There is tremendous overlap among genres. These pigeonholes are offered only as a convenience.

Just finished writing a thesis with Lewis's Babbitt as the centerpiece. It looked at Babbitt as the best-loved American book in France in the 1920s and early 1930s.

In the end, I enjoyed Babbitt, though Lewis sometimes beats the reader over the head with his use of episode.
