美国第一部诺贝尔文学奖获奖小说《巴比特》并不是通常所认为的现实主义和讽刺文体的矛盾杂糅，而是具有多元性的现代现实主义特质的高超的艺术作品。刘易斯运用了一种詹姆斯·费伦所说的“肖像化”的叙事艺术，把叙事成分与人物素描成分结合了起来，消解、化解或者说缓解了事件的发展过程。肖像化叙事艺术的分析表明：巴比特不但是一个循规蹈矩、自满得意的美国人，而且还具有通常被人们所忽视的另一面：一个不满意和不快乐的美国人，一个消费文化的精神奴隶。

Babbitt is the first American novel of winning Nobel Prize for literature . Though a great number of western scholars have given high praise to Babbitt , they also suspect the novel's artistic technique . A close reading of Babbitt in its cultural context reveals that the novel is not the paradoxical combination of realism and satire , but the great artistic work with multiple features of “modern realism” . Lewis applies what James Phelan calls a “portraiture narrative” strategy to connecting the elements of the narrative and character sketch , which dispel , resolve or alleviate the events'developments . It demonstrates that Babbitt is not only a conformist and complacent , but dissatisfied and joyless American and a spiritual slave in consumer culture .
