Winesburg, Ohio: A Group of Tales of Ohio Small Town Life by Sherwood Anderson

"Winesburg, Ohio: A Group of Tales of Ohio Small Town Life" by Sherwood Anderson is a short story cycle published in 1919. Set in the fictional town of Winesburg, Ohio, the work follows George Willard from childhood to young adulthood as he prepares to leave his hometown. Through twenty-two interconnected stories, Anderson explores the inner lives of various townspeople, each struggling with loneliness and isolation in pre-industrial small-town America. Known for its psychological depth and plainspoken prose, the work is considered an early example of Modernist literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
