Born in 1876, Sherwood Anderson grew up in a small town in Ohio - an experience that was the basis of his greatest achievements as a writer. He served in the Spanish-American War, worked as an advertising man, and managed an Ohio paint factory before abandoning both job and family to embark on a literary career in Chicago. His first novel, Windy McPherson's Son, was published in 1916; his second, Marching Men, a characteristic study of the individual in conflict with industrial society, appeared in 1917. But it is Winesburg, Ohio (1919), with its disillusioned view of small-town lives, that is generally considered his masterpiece. Later novels - Poor White, Many Marriages, and Dark Laughter - continued to depict the spiritual poverty of the machine age. Anderson died in 1941.

(门外汉的一点瞎感想,内行轻拍) 一年以来,我对虚构类作品的阅读几乎主要集中在短篇小说上,尤其是现代短篇小说。就我外行的直觉而言,长篇小说接近于一项建筑工事,而短篇小说则更像是一门手艺。现代小说的材料之细与工艺之精日臻极致,以至于可以脱离指向,作为纯粹结构...

评分Winesburg,Ohio读后感 故事集中在一个小城。准确来说是一个关系网交错,彼此知根知底的小镇,他们的世界天然地隔绝在一方天地上,聆听着彼此的故事,却带着复杂的眼神。 作者是美国文学大师舍伍德•安德森,他构思的故事彼此分立甚至彼此对立,却用隐晦的线条交织在一起。入...

This timeless cycle of short stories lays bare the life of a small town in the American Midwest. The central character is George Willard, a young reporter on the Winesburg Eagle to whom, one by one, the town's inhabitans confide their hopes, their dreams, and their fears. The town of friendly but solitary people comes to life as Anderson's special talent exposes the emotional undercurrents that bind its people together. Malcolm Cowley's introduction is a penetrating reappraisal of "the only storyteller of his generation who left a mark on the style and vision of the generation that followed...Hemingway, Faulker, Wolfe, Steinbeck, Caldwell, Saroyan, and Henry Miller...each owes an unmistakable debt to Anderson."
看前面几篇还颇受触动,可是越到后来就觉得这样一群固执地沉溺在自己世界里又受不了寂寞的人本就是——活该,连带作者这种细腻忧伤的笔调也让我很、恼、火。
