Our Mr. Wrenn, the Romantic Adventures of a Gentle Man is a 1914 novel by Sinclair Lewis."At thirty-four Mr. Wrenn was the sales-entry clerk of the Souvenir Company. He was always bending over bills and columns of figures at a desk behind the stock-room. He was a meek little bachelor--a person of inconspicuous blue ready-made suits, and a small unsuccessful mustache."Mr. Wrenn, however has a rich inner life embellished by his own imagination. When he comes into a modest inheritance, he feels he ought to learn to get out and wander a bit, and then his education begins. He finds life more "interesting", perhaps than he had "imagined". . .Harry Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) was an American novelist, short-story writer, and playwright.In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was awarded "for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humor, new types of characters."His works are known for their insightful and critical views of American capitalism and materialism between the wars.
