Series: Modern Library 100 Best Novels

Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time

Before Raymond Carver, John Cheever, and Richard Ford, there was Sherwood Anderson, who, with Winesburg, Ohio, charted a new direction in American fiction--evoking with lyrical simplicity quiet moments of epiphany in the lives of ordinary men and women. In a bed, elevated so that he can peer out the window, an old writer contemplates the fluttering of his heart and considers, as if viewing a pageant, the inhabitants of a small midwestern town. Their stories are about loneliness and alienation, passion and virginity, wealth and poverty, thrift and profligacy, carelessness and abandon. ""Nothing quite like it has ever been done in America,"" wrote H. L. Mencken. ""It is so vivid, so full of insight, so shiningly life-like and glowing, that the book is lifted into a category all its own.""

Reviews for Winesburg, Ohio

When he calls himself a 'poor scribbler' don't believe him. He is not a poor scribbler . . . he is a very great writer. --Ernest Hemingway Winesburg, Ohio, when it first appeared, kept me up a whole night in a steady crescendo of emotion. --Hart Crane As a rule, first books show more bravado than anything else, unless it be tediousness. But there is neither of these qualities in Winesburg, Ohio. . . . These people live and breathe: they are beautiful. --E. M. Forster Winesburg, Ohio is an extraordinarily good book. But it is not fiction. It is poetry. --Rebecca West
