The novelâs publication in 1925 made it one of the first serious âscienceâ novels, exploring all aspects of the life and career of a modern scientist. Lewis was aided in the novelâs preparation by Paul de Kruif, a microbiologist and writer, whose medically-accurate contributions greatly enhance the textâs realist flavor. In 1926 Arrowsmith was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, but Lewis famously declined it. In his refusal letter, he claimed a disinterest in prizes of any kind but the New York Times reported that those close to him say he was still angered over the Pulitzerâs last-minute snatching of the 1921 prize from Main Street in favor of giving it to The Age of Innocence.
