Join Mike Vendetti, also known as Miketheauctioneer, as he brings to life Sinclair Lewis’ second novel, Trail of the Hawk. Although it didnt achieve the immediate acclaim of his later masterpieces like Babbitt and Elmer Gantry, this work showcases Lewis unique style and remarkable talent. Follow the journey of Carl Ericson, affectionately known as The Hawk, the son of Norwegian immigrants born at the close of the 19th century. Experience his adventurous youth as he escapes with Gertie Cowels, the girl from the affluent part of town, only to be rescued by Bone Stillman, a backwoods philosopher who profoundly influences Carls life. As he transitions from childhood to a quest for higher education, he dives into the hobo lifestyle, takes on various jobs, and ultimately becomes an aviator, embracing the thrilling yet perilous world of barnstorming across America. After a series of near misses and the heartbreaking loss of a close friend, Carl shifts gears to the automobile industry. In the final phase of his journey, love beckons in New York, where he unwittingly mingles with high society and finds himself captivated by Ruth Winslow after an unexpected encounter on a streetcar. I truly enjoyed narrating this novel, and I believe listeners will too, as it offers a fascinating glimpse into post-Victorian, pre-Jazz Age America.
