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."
安德森的名气主要来自他的两个学生。一个叫福克纳,一个叫海明威。两个人都是美国文坛——错了,世界文坛上赫赫有名的人物。貌似安德森跟他俩沾光了。 但是我不知道你读没读过福克纳、海明威和安德森的小说。就我个人经验来看,福克纳的小说读着让人想睡觉(也可能是SB翻译的问...

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。...

评分首篇“畸人书”其实已经阐明了为何这些人被称为“畸人”。“使人变成畸人的,便是真理”,“一个人一旦为自己掌握一个真理,称之为他的真理,并且努力依此真理过他的生活时,他便变成畸人,他拥抱的真理便变成虚妄”。 安德森的这部书足够深刻,也足够警醒。所谓自我放逐,只是...
Seemingly unusual grotesques...Everyone's a freak, in one way or another.
评分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。
