Winesburg, Ohio (Signet Classics) - Softcover
Winesburg, Ohio, gave birth to the American story cycle, for which William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and later writers were forever indebted. Defying the prudish sensibilities of his time, Anderson never omitted anything adult, harsh, or shocking; instead he embraced frankness, truth, and the hidden depths everyone possesses. Here we meet young George Willard, a newspaper reporter with dreams; Kate Swift, the schoolteacher who attempts to seduce him; Wing Biddlebaum, a berry picker whose hands are the source of both his renown and shame; Alice Hindman, who has one last adventure; and all the other complex human beings whose portraits brought American literature into the modern age. Their stories make up a classic and place its author alongside the best of American writers. With an Introduction by Irving Howe
and an Afterword by Dean Koontz

Review:
"A work of love, an attempt to break down the walls that divide one person from another, and also, in its own fashion, a celebration of small-town life in the lost days of goodwill and innocence."--Malcolm Cowley "He was the father of my whole generation of writers."--William Faulkner
Book Description:
Hemingway, Faulkner, Updike and Carver all rated Anderson. After reading the thriftily evoked lives of the residents of Winesberg Ohio, you will too.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Inspired by Sherwood Anderson's Midwestern boyhood and his observations in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Chicago, the loosely connected stories in WINESBURG, OHIO gave birth to the America story cycle, for which William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and later writers were forever indebted. Defying the sensibilities of his time, Anderson omitted nothing sexual, harsh, or aberrant; instead he embraced frankness, truth, and the hidden depths everyone possesses. Here we meet young George Willard, a newspaper reporter with dreams; Kate Swift, the schoolteacher who attempts to seduce him; Wing Biddlebaum, a berry picker whose hands are the source of both his renown and shame; Alice Hindman, who has one last, shocking adventure; and all the other complex human beings whose portraits brought American literature into the modern age. Their stories make up a classic and place their author alongside the best of American writers.Winesburg, Ohio, gave birth to the American story cycle, for which William Faulkner, F.
