About this listen

 Winesburg, Ohio, a collection of stories set in a fictitious town in the 1890s, has long been considered Sherwood Anderson's masterpiece. This groundbreaking work set the stage for a new era in writing, greatly influencing Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, and John Steinbeck, among many others. Anderson wrote simply, brilliantly crafting a work that dared to examine the darker impulses of human nature. Considered by many at the time of publication (1919) to be a scandalous work, Winesburg, Ohio has nonetheless survived through the decades as one of the forerunners of modern fiction. Haunting and powerful, it draws readers into the streets and houses of Winesburg - and into the darkly complex lives of each of Anderson's unforgettable "grotesques."©1992 Charles Basham (P)1995 Audio Bookshelf Anthologies Classics Fiction Literary Fiction Short Stories Small Town & Rural Ohio

Editor reviews

Eight decades after its publication, Sherwood Anderson's masterpiece is still riveting. The stories of this fictional town and its residents are deeply personal yet universal and darkly disturbing. But what I found most striking was the economy of style - the short, direct, declarative sentences that seem to resonate from Hemingway to Doctorow, and by happy coincidence make great "reading" for the ear! (Rick L.)

Critic reviews

"...a panorama, with souls instead of trees, with minds instead of houses." ( Chicago Daily News, 1919)
