Winesburg, Ohio: Sherwood Anderson - Softcover

"The father of my generation of American writers and the tradition of American writing which our successors will carry on." - William Faulkner

Portraying the characters and events of a small Midwestern town at the end of the nineteenth century, Winesburg, Ohio is a chronological cycle of stories which reads like an episodic novel. Centring on George Willard, a young local reporter with big-city aspirations, and his conversations with fellow inhabitants, the book gives voice to a disparate cast of figures and lays bare the constraints and struggles of life in a small community.
