''The Man Who Knew Coolidge'' is a 1928 satirical novel by Sinclair Lewis. It features the return of several characters from Lewis' previous works, including George Babbitt and Elmer Gantry. Additionally, it sees a return to the familiar territory of Lewis' fictional American city of Zenith, in the state of Winnemac. Presented as six long, uninterrupted monologues by Lowell Schmalz, a travelling salesman in office supplies, the eponymous first section was originally published in The American Mercury in 1927.〔Schorer, Mark. ''Sinclair Lewis: An American Life''. New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc., 1961, p. 490〕 ==Plot== ''The Man Who Knew Coolidge'' (subtitled "Being the Soul of Lowell Schmaltz, Constructive and Nordic Citizen") is recounted in a series of six long, uninterrupted monologues by the sub-titular Schmalz. As the reader progresses through each, Schmalz gradually reveals additional details about his background, circumstances, and character. Intended by Lewis as a light intermission between the more substantial ''Elmer Gantry'' and his 1929 novel, Dodsworth, ''The Man Who Knew Coolidge'' is written in a lighter and more humorous vein than Lewis' best-remembered novels of the 1920s.
