Book Review:

"...a panorama, with souls instead of trees, with minds in place of houses."
                     -Chicago Daily News, 1919

Audio Review:

"Audio Bookshelf has done an excellent job in all aspects. Bregy's rather austere and mysterious narrative voice sets the perfect tone for these dark tales"
                     -Kliatt

SYNOPSIS:

Winesburg, Ohio is a collection of stories set in a fictitious town in the 1890's and is considered Sherwood Anderson's masterpiece. It was a ground-breaking work and set the stage for a new era of writing, greatly influencing Ernest Hemingway, Katherine Anne Porter, William Faulkner and John Steinbeck, among others.

Anderson wrote simply, brilliantly crafting a work that dared to examine the darker impulses of human nature at a time when acceptable popular fiction was suffocating in its own gentility and morality. Considered by many at the time of publication (1919) to be a scandalous work, Winesburg, Ohio has nonetheless survived throughout the decades as the forerunner of modern fiction, and has been tranlated into 19 languages.
