description: From Bill Saber, a character in "Is This a Dagger--So What?" who wears a toupee that resembles moss, to the idiosyncratically spelled Zylophonists in the story "Loki the Red," this volume lists every fictional character from S to Z invented by American author Sinclair Lewis in his writings (even those of the most generic nature), together with brief descriptions. This final of three volumes also contains a list of real persons appearing as characters in Lewis's fiction; summaries and a checklist of Lewis's stories, novels, and plays; and works cited and consulted. Preceding volumes cover A-G and H-R, with the first volume containing an essay by compiler Rogal (emeritus, humanities and fine arts, Illinois Valley Community College) reflecting on the importance of character names in Lewis's fiction.
