cess: sometimes for religious fervor.
It is also the color of decay.
Lewis seems to have taken adj
vantage of all its signihcances. The
old yellow brick houses at Gopher
Prairie have about them the air OF
decay; and his "sickly yellow
"curdled yellow" and dragging yell
low" further carry out the more dis
agreeable meaning of the color.
What Gabby would like to know:
Was Lewis himself conscious of his
yellow streak?"

there are always fools and foolish

Carol would have been a failure
anywhere. She deserved to fail in
Gopher Prairie, which does not strike
me, after all, as so hateful a place as
she found it to be. She nowhere inn

pages of the book, Sinclair Lewis
