I mentioned in a recent post that more classic novels, ones published in 1929, would be coming into the public domain.
Standard Ebooks, which puts out carefully edited free ebooks of classic books, has just announced it is immediately putting out editions of 20 books which have entered the public domain this year.
See the link for the full list, but it includes The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner, A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, Dodsworth by Sinclair Lewis and Look Homeward, Angel by Thomas Wolfe.
The 1920s were an exciting time in American literature and the decision by Congress to allow books to start going into the public domain again have made many books available free. More books by Ernest Hemingway will be coming into the public domain, but in the meantime, Standard Ebooks has The Sun Also Rises and a short fiction collection as well as the new book. The Sinclair Lewis offerings now included Dodsworth, Babbitt, Elmer Gantry, Arrowsmith and Main Street.

Out of curiosity I looked up the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for that year. It was awarded to “Scarlet Sister Mary,” by Julia Peterkin. Not a great year for the award givers.
