Robert Cantwell
Robert Emmett Cantwell (January 31, 1908 – December 8, 1978), known as Robert Cantwell, was a novelist and critic. His first novel, 'Laugh and Lie Down' (1931) is a striking early example, twenty years before Kerouac, of the American classic genre, the "road novel" (automobile style), and also an important example of the "Depression novel" period genre -- totally unrecognized. His most notable work, The Land of Plenty, focuses on a lumber mill in a thinly disguised version of his hometown in Washington state.
