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.
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."

评分最好的黄昏是农夫驾着车回家的吱呀吱呀声,主街上开诊所的医师正收拾东西准备回家,杂货铺的伙计扫了门前马车驶过带来的灰尘,几个庄稼汉在一天的忙碌过后正要去酒馆喝一杯,道路尽头的教堂牧师走了出来,伫立在那里虔诚的看着被夕阳暖烘烘的小城祷告祈求主给以荣光的指引。...
评分人的一生发生了很多事。 而安德森让我们知道,人一辈子也就只是那么一两件事情而已。 有学者将这种创作叫做“记忆写作”。即取人物记忆中最深刻印象的事件描述的写作手段。这当然是非常接近现代派的意识流创作的思想了,心理真实才是人最大的真实。这个事件尘埃落地的瞬间,人...
评分一、导言---心灵魔术游戏 二十世纪初叶,当黑塞赫尔曼耽迷于他所创造的自我魔剧院,并在其中将灵魂无情的碎裂为错综复杂、杂乱无章的心灵映像时,舍伍德安德森则于梦境的迷蒙和暗夜天空某种隐秘的召唤下,潜心致力于人性的分割组合。他像一个高超的魔术音乐师,用片断为指挥棒...
