Winesburg, Ohio: Sherwood Anderson

`He was the father of my generation of American writers and the tradition of American writing` William Faulkner

This timeless cycle of short stories lays bare the life of a small town in the American Midwest. The central character is George Willard, a young reporter on the Winesburg Eagle to whom, one by one, the town`s inhabitants confide their hopes, their dreams, and their fears. The town of friendly but solitary people comes to life as Anderson`s special talent exposes the emotional undercurrants that bind its people together.
