This was an interesting book. George F. Babbitt is a successful 1920s businessman (real estate) in a moderately sized and relatively anonymous American city. At the outset, he seems to lack a modicum of self-awareness, but as events escalate he begins to feel more and more dissatisfied with his conservative and respectable life. He veers of the rails of respectability until he comes to understand how that would negatively affect his life and business. Still, his experiences allow him to see other possibilities, changing the way he responds to his son's unconventional behavior.
