'Here [is] a new order of short story,' said H. L. Mencken when Winesburg, Ohio was published in 1919. 'It is so vivid, so full of insight, so shiningly life-like and glowing, that the book is lifted into a category all its own.' Indeed, Sherwood Anderson's timeless cycle of loosely connected tales--in which a young reporter named George Willard probes the hopes, dreams, and fears of the solitary people in a small Midwestern town at the turn of the century--embraced a new frankness and realism that ushered American literature into the modern age. 'There are moments in American life to which Anderson gave not only the first but the final expression,' wrote Malcolm Cowley. 'Winesburg, Ohio is far from the pessimistic or morbidly sexual work it was once attacked for being. Instead it is a work of love, an attempt to break down the walls of loneliness, and, in its own fashion, a celebration of small-town life in the lost days of good will and innocence.'
Sherwood Anderson was an American writer who was mainly known for his short stories, most notably the collection Winesburg, Ohio. That work's influence on American fiction was profound, and its literary voice can be heard in Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Thomas Wolfe, John Steinbeck, Erskine Caldwell and others.
From PBS.org:
Sherwood Anderson, (1876-1941), was an American short-story writer and novelist. Although none of his novels was wholly successful, several of his short stories have become classics. Anderson was a major influence on the generation of American writers who came after him. These writers included Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and William Faulkner. Anderson thus occupies a place in literary history that cannot be fully explained by the literary quality of his work.
Anderson was born on Sept. 13, 1876, in Camden, Ohio. He never finished high school because he had to work to support his family. By 1912, he was the successful manager of a paint factory in Elyria, Ohio, and the father of three children by the first of his four wives. In 1912, Anderson deserted his family and job. In early 1913, he moved to Chicago, where he devoted more time to his imaginative writing. He became a heroic model for younger writers because he broke with what they considered to be American materialism and convention to commit himself to art.
Anderson's most important book is WINESBURG, OHIO (1919), a collection of 22 stories. The stories explore the lives of inhabitants of Winesburg, a fictional version of Clyde, Ohio, the small farm town where Anderson lived for about 12 years of his early life. These tales made a significant break with the traditional American short story. Instead of emphasizing plot and action, Anderson used a simple, precise, unsentimental style to reveal the frustration, loneliness, and longing in the lives of his characters. These characters are stunted by the narrowness of Midwestern small-town life and by their own limitations.

They are everything about lonliness and the grotesques. The language is plain and colloquial, without ornament, yet so absorbing.
评分最早的两篇好得那么惊人,像是平淡无奇里突然打了你一拳,后来,读的适合疲惫,镇上的人生也不总是让人共鸣,但最后几篇,又是细腻捉摸不清得好,而且,大结构上环环相扣,是多叙事情节的电影。至于结局总是孤寂的现实主义,这不早就是不证自明的事情吗?我爱有不安分双手的人,把爱人吓走的人,一生只有两回得偿所愿的自由的人,另外,另外年轻人的悸动我都忘记了。应该调整顺序再读一次,把医生和母亲,过去和现在放在一起。

评分That in the beginning when the world was young there were a great many thoughts but no such thing as a truth. Man made the truths himself and each truth was a composite of a great many vague thoughts. All about in the world were the truths and they were all beautiful.
评分近期读的最好的一本书之一!串在一起的小故事,会跟故事里的人一起就悲伤起来,高兴起来,和最后又无力~我一点都没觉得他们是畸人,压抑,无法沟通,someone must live and die alone~
舍伍德•安德森是美国第一位成熟的现代意义上的小说家,曾经深刻地影响过他的学生兼朋友海明威和福克纳两位大师,可以说他是大师的老师。安德森在短篇小说创作方面最杰出的成就体现在系列短篇小说集《俄亥俄,温斯堡》(又译《小城畸人》)上。它既是安德森的代表作,也是美...
评分11月30日 《没有人知道》这个短篇,很简短,写的又是平常的事,读来却自有一股感动的力量。这源于作者对人物性格、心理以及对周遭环境的细致描摹。记得有人说,爱情最美妙、最醉人的时刻,是还没有捅破那层纸的那些时光。这篇小说,写的就是捅破那层纸的小事。我猜想,大概...
评分将要谈及的这本短篇故事集《小城畸人》,可能超出许多人对短篇小说的预判。这并非出于作者意愿,他没有那么大的野心。对于一个出身贫寒,没有受过多少正经教育,43岁才获得小说家声誉的男人来说,成功更像是个意外,一条不在地图上的歧路。 然而放到美国文学史中,这份成功意义...
评分看了一半时实在看不下去了,安德森描述的确实是些神经质的人,至少初读下来我是这样想的。后来看了一些书评,对它的评价都很好,影响了很多名人,不管怎样,我是同意“生命的历史只是片断的历史。只有在极少数的片断里,我们才真正地活着。”这句话,畸人是一群在绝望中默默...
