-As a rule, first books show more bravado than anything else, unless it be tediousness. But there is neither of these qualities in Winesburg, Ohio. . . . These people live and breathe: they are beautiful.---E. M. Forster
-Winesburg, Ohio is an extraordinarily good book. But it is not fiction. It is poetry.---Rebecca West
