Winesburg, Ohio
A Group of Tales of Ohio Small Town Life
Sherwood Anderson
This collection of short stories allows us to enter the alternately complex, lonely, joyful and strange lives of the inhabitants of the small town of Winesburg, Ohio. While each character finds definition through their role in the community, we are witness to the individual struggles each faces in trying to reconcile their secret life within.
