Additional Book Details

<p>A master of the cadences of colloquial speech and a pioneer of literary modernism, Sherwood Anderson transformed American writing in the years between the world wars. Though he wrote in many genres, Anderson found his ideal form with the collection Winesburg, Ohio—a series of interrelated stories that present expressionist variations on themes of isolation, frustration, and obsession. Here, for the first time in a single volume, are all the story collections Anderson published during his lifetime: Winesburg, Ohio (1919), The Triumph of the Egg (1921), Horses and Men (1923), and Death in the Woods (1933), along with a generous selection of stories left uncollected or unpublished at his death. Exploring the hidden recesses of small town life, these haunting, often sexually frank works revolutionized American storytelling, inspiring writers like Hemingway, Faulkner, O’Connor, and Mailer, and defining a tradition of midwestern fiction that includes Charles Baxter, editor of this volume. </p>
