What to expect
Winesburg, Ohio, a collection of stories set in a fictitious town in the 1890s, has long been considered Sherwood Anderson's masterpiece. This groundbreaking work set the stage for a new era in writing, greatly influencing Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, and John Steinbeck, among many others. Anderson wrote simply, brilliantly crafting a work that dared to examine the darker impulses of human nature. Considered by many at the time of publication in 1919 to be a scandalous work, Winesburg, Ohio has nonetheless survived through the decades as one of the forerunners of modern fiction. Haunting and powerful, it draws listeners into the streets and houses of Winesburg—and into the darkly complex lives of each of Anderson's unforgettable "grotesques."
Critics Review

“A work of love, an attempt to break down the walls that divide one
Malcolm Cowley
person from another, and also, in its own fashion, a celebration of
small-town life in the lost days of goodwill and innocence.” -
“He was the father of my whole generation of writers.”
William Faulkner
