    Winesburg Ohio [A Group of Tales of Ohio Small-Town Life] – Sherwood Anderson

    A classic Modern Library edition published just after WWII in 1947. Octavo, 303 pages, dust jacket with some edge wear otherwise a very good copy.

    Likely Sherwood Anderson’s most admired work. Considered as one of the first books of Modernist Literature. A collection of twenty-two stories, generally described as a “short story cycle” i.e. they are all connected.

    Interestingly, the place Winesburg Ohio is fictitious even though there is of course a Winesburg Ohio. The place in the stories is believed to have been based around Clyde in Ohio where Anderson was brought up …. Characters and locations are familiar.

    Written in a direct unambiguous manner dealing with character over plot. Much admired and possibly directly influenced by Gertrude Stein with whom he communicated. Comparisons with Hemingway, Steinbeck etc made Voyager pick up this book and not leave it ’til done.

    Winesburg Ohio so specific but could be anywhere.
