Description: Published two years after Winesburg, Ohio, his innovative, influential 1919 masterpiece, the stories in this rich collection cemented Sherwood Anderson's reputation as a major American writer. They possess a surface simplicity like those of Hemingway, who was indelibly influenced by Anderson's technique. But Anderson's stories also have a breathtaking freshness and depth, presenting honest epiphanies, undercurrents of erotic longing, and sudden eruptions of passion among seemingly bottled-up, inarticulate midwesterners. Students, teachers, writers, and all lovers of good fiction are sure to welcome this inexpensive new edition.
