He is one of only four novelists to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, along with William Faulkner, John Updike and Colson Whitehead. In the 1910s and 1920s he was considered the United States' greatest living author. Several of his stories were adapted to film. Booth Tarkington served one term in the Indiana House of Representatives, was critical of the advent of automobiles, and set many of his stories in the Midwest.
