Winesburg, Ohio (1919) is a collection of interrelated short stories about small-town life in the American Midwest by author Sherwood Anderson. No doubt inspired by his own decision to leave Ohio for Chicago in order to launch his career as a professional writer, these stories relate a firsthand understanding of the concerns, routines, desires, and disappointments driving the lives of many Americans in the early-twentieth century.\n\n\n\nA young man struggles to express himself, and, consumed with paranoia and loneliness, turns to violence as his only outlet. An elderly mother recalls visions of her youth and memories of lost love as she faces death alone. A reserved woman inexplicably runs naked into the rainy streets of her town. Winesburg, Ohio is built on such stories as these, dissecting with painstaking detail the inner psychological torments of a small town’s residents who remain, in the end, unmistakably human. Their longing and loneliness bring them together as much as they define what drives them apart, but ultimately it is silence and suffering which prevail. Throughout these stories, the life and development of George Willard is told in fragments, examining the extent to which we are formed in the image of others as well as the lengths to which one young man will go to avoid the fate he is born to. Winesburg, Ohio was an instant classic, a work which came not only to define Anderson’s career, but to inspire generations of writers and readers to come.\n\n\n\nWinesburg, Ohio is recognized today as a pioneering work of Modernist fiction that precipitated a sea change in not only short story writing, but the entirety of American literature. Anderson’s style is admired for its plainspoken language and psychological detail, and he was one of the first American authors to incorporate ideas from Freudian analysis within his work. Both darkly pessimistic and ultimately hopeful, Winesburg, Ohio endures because it captures the humanity of American life while offering to readers a sense of the promise of change.\n\n\n\nWith a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

Una cittadina del Mid-West raccontata attraverso le storie di alcuni suoi abitanti. Le loro doppie vite, normalissime e nevroticissime, sono diventate un modello descrittivo degli Stati Uniti che ha avuto infinite applicazioni nella letteratura e nel cinema.\r\n\r\n«Anderson è stato il piú bravo a giocare con le parole come fossero pietre, o pezzi di roba da mangiare» – Charles Bukowski\r\n\r\n«I personaggi di un libro come \"Winesburg, Ohio\", una volta trovati, ti accompagnano come un coro di voci. Ti parlano del loro luogo d'origine, come i viaggiatori che capita di incontrare in treno ti parlano del loro paese, ma bisogna avere anche la fortuna di imbattersi in qualcuno che te la sappia raccontare bene quella storia. Nello stile di Sherwood Anderson c'è la grande letteratura americana, c'è tutto quello che si ama del mestiere di scrivere. Conciso, neutrale agli eventi, sa come fare arrivare le luci e le ombre delle case, l'odore dei campi, il fieno tagliato, il profumo di pioggia, dell'erba da raccogliere. Le radici nella terra all'alba della modernità. Il suo stile maestro si concentra in quest'opera su uno dei soggetti che personalmente amo di più. La storia di un paese, di una comunità. È un argomento in cui è facile trovare del proprio, pure nel lontano fascino dell'America preindustriale, dove i più anziani ancora raccontano della guerra civile. È anzi un'America che viene da sentire più vicina, perché parte di tutte le civiltà contadine nel momento del passaggio che le estingue.» (dalla prefazione di Vinicio Capossela)

A new story collection focused on the Heartland from Michael Martone, one of America's most prolific and important contemporary authors.\n\n\n\nIn Plain Air: Sketches from Winesburg, Indiana, Michael Martone places steady fingers on the arrhythmic pulse of the Flyover as he conjures Winesburg, Indiana, a fictional town and all of its inhabitants' lyric philosophies, tales of the mundane, and the sensation of being \"lost\" in the heart of the heart of the country. But here, in over one-hundred and thirty short fictions, even as there is much sadness, the citizens continue to tinker and create, marvel and wonder in the midst of ruin and rust. These stories may capture lives of quiet desperation, but in so doing, they create a kind of hobbled poetry in the spontaneous sketches of the ordinary made extraordinary, the regular irregularities, the familiar knocked off-balance with a glancing blow. From the overly overworked City Manager, to Margaret Wigg's obsessively collected collection of library stamps, to Blanche's air-filled aluminum ice cube tray, the town is a community of everyday odd-balls rife with isolation and idiosyncrasy. They are people trying to get by; that question loss as well as passion, devotedness, childhood wonder, and kinship in their observations and daily routines. With undeniable humor, intelligent quirk, and earnest longing for a pastoral passing into the annals of deep Midwestern time, Michael Martone crafts an unforgettable panoply of characters whose perspectives invite us to alternatively interpret our own commonplaces.
