What to expect
“These notes make no pretense of being a record of fact. That isn’t their object. They are merely notes of impressions, a record of vagrant thoughts, hopes, ideas that have floated through the mind of one present-day American…It is my aim to be true to the essence of things. That’s what I’m after.”
Told through many notes in four books and an epilogue, Sherwood Anderson’s memoir of Midwestern life and culture journeys through the author’s own imaginative world and through the world of facts. From Anderson’s childhood to his attempt to ingratiate himself with New York’s literary elite, A Story Teller’s Story is a unique look into the psyche of an American icon.
Critics Review
-
“Probably unequaled…for the austerity of moral courage and sincerity of conviction…A book which should be read by every intelligent American.”
New York Times
-
“In the field of literary autobiography, it stands practically alone in America.”
