'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.

小镇群像的结构让我想起奈保尔的《米格尔街》,但是Sherwood Anderson的文字真的太过平庸,很多expression不断重复出现,不得不让我为他的描述词汇感到捉襟。可能读翻译版语言贫乏的感觉会没那么强烈。不太懂为什么那么多大家会捧他为尊师,包括奥兹。
评分One of the most touching and inspiring things I've ever read."By our acceptance of these outsiders, we discover the outsider in each of us."
评分The reason a movie like On the Beach, books like Winsburg, Ohio and For Whom the Bell Tolls are bad to the point of being laughable, but not bad to the point of being enjoyable, is that they are too dogged and pretentious. They lack fantasy. (p. 284)
评分可以说是24种孤独了。看到有人说觉得安德森用词平庸,然而用最普通的词做最准确的表达才是本事,何况还满是诗意。另外,觉得他反复使用的up and down也自有深意,代表的是那些被墙困住无可逃遁的人们的焦躁的心。
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~

评分Winesburg,Ohio读后感 故事集中在一个小城。准确来说是一个关系网交错,彼此知根知底的小镇,他们的世界天然地隔绝在一方天地上,聆听着彼此的故事,却带着复杂的眼神。 作者是美国文学大师舍伍德•安德森,他构思的故事彼此分立甚至彼此对立,却用隐晦的线条交织在一起。入...
