This coveted collection of short stories by Sherwood Anderson (including the "Unlighted Lamp" and "Out of Nothing to Nowhere," contains some of the author's most celebrated works. Between the two great wars of the twentieth century, Sherwood Anderson vastly influenced and shaped the course of American fiction. His talent was recognized early in his writing career by leaders of the Chicago literary movement. Theodore Dreiser became so impressed by his writing that he helped arrange for the publication of Sherwood’s first two novels. His gifted talent as a writer of fiction soon became apparent, so much so, that his colloquial style began to have a major impact on the next generation of American writers, among which included such literary giants as William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, and Thomas Wolfe.

About the Author

Sherwood Anderson was an American novelist, short-story writer, memoirist, essayist, and poet. A successful copywriter and business owner, Anderson s experience of a nervous breakdown precipitated his abandonment of his business and family in order to pursue a full-time writing career.

Anderson went on to produce more than twenty published works in his lifetime, including the enduring short-story collection, Winesburg, Ohio, and his semi-autobiographical style served as an influence for some of the brightest writers of the succeeding generation, including Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, William Faulkner, and Thomas Wolfe. Anderson died in 1941.
