Fiction Fun! Reads “Winesburg, Ohio” by Sherwood Anderson
Friday, November 15, 7:00 p.m. in the Guild Room.
In the preface to the Penguin Classic of Winesburg, Ohio, Malcolm Cowley called Anderson “a writer’s writer, the only storyteller of his generation who left his mark on the style and vision of the generation that followed…. Hemingway was regarded as his disciple in 1920 when both men lived on the Near North Side of Chicago. Faulkner says that he had written very little, ‘poems and just amateur things,’ before meeting Anderson in 1925 and becoming, for a time, his inseparable companion.
