Thompson initially made the accusation in 1928 regarding her work "The New Russia" and Dreiser's "Dreiser Goes to Russia", though the New York Times also linked the dispute to competition between Dreiser and Lewis over the Nobel Prize.[24][25] Dreiser fired back that Sinclair's 1928 novel Arrowsmith (adapted later that year as a feature film) was unoriginal and that Dreiser himself was first approached to write it, which was disputed by the wife of Arrowsmith's subject, microbiologist Dr. Paul de Kruif.[26][25] The feud carried on for some months.[27] In 1944, however, Lewis campaigned to have Dreiser recognized by the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[25]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3422.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3422.txt
