Similar in form to The Human Comedy but I loved Sayoran (enough to read everything I could find by him) and didn't like this very much. That probably says more about me than Sherwood Anderson and I would take my opinion as a matter of taste. I am not a fan of Hardy, who is equally gloomy. (  ) ChrisMcCaffrey | Apr 6, 2021 |  As a steadfast lover of Death in the Woods and Other Stories, I was sorely disappointed with this. No doubt Anderson's talent for bringing the reader to the moment of epiphany with a character is present. Furthermore, his ability to evoke emotion with seemingly simple descriptions of the physical is also manifest, and the book will most certainly arch the eyebrows of those who think that we were oh-so-much more pure and civilized in the ever-golden past. However, despite all those redeeming characteristics, the work as a whole simply does not gel. The individual stories, more often than not, only make sense within the context of each other, so they fail to satisfy as complete tales. Yet they also lack the necessary cohesion to form a novel. So while the portrait of a town is indeed painted, it is not made of interest. Those who have only read this Sherwood Anderson title might consider giving Death in the Woods a try. I find it to be a vastly superior work. (  ) Zoes_Human | Jan 22, 2021 | I first read one of Sherwood Anderson's stories while living on a little island off the coast of Massachusetts, and it felt appropriate to finally read this collection of stories when I moved to Ohio myself. (  ) resoundingjoy | Jan 1, 2021 | This book was unknown to me until I read The Paris Wife. It is a beautiful portrait of small town life at the turn of the last century. Through his beautiful use of language we see the townsfolk struggling with hopes, fears, frustrations much like our own. we also can celebrate the joy and love they share. ( ) Chrissylou62 | Aug 1, 2020 | This is one I come back to every once in a while. I read it on the web the last time. It's more than just a portrait of a town. It's poetry. You come to feel like you know the people and their relationships. Life is hard in a small town, but there are perks. (  ) billycongo | Jul 22, 2020 |
 In the autumn of 1915, while living in a bohemian boardinghouse on Chicago’s Near North Side, Sherwood Anderson began work on a collection of tales describing the tortured lives of the inhabitants of Winesburg, a fictional Ohio town, in the 1890s. Drawing on his own experience growing up in the agricultural hamlet of Clyde, Ohio, he breathed life into a band of neurotic castaways adrift on the flatlands of the Midwest, each of them in their own way struggling — and failing — to locate meaning, personal connection and love amid the town’s elm-shaded streets.  Het boek kent enkele zich nogal herhalende thema’s en lijdt wat onder de afwezigheid van de psychologische inzichten die de er opvolgende decennia gemeengoed zouden worden. Toch heeft deze terechte heruitgave meer dan louter literair historische waarde. Het toont een Amerika op de historische grens van een agrarische naar een industriële samenleving, en het toont de onmacht, de hopeloos lijkende ontsnappingsstrategieën, de dieptrieste psychologische problematiek van het voetvolk dat nooit erkenning zou krijgen in het Amerikaanse succesverhaal. Sherwood Anderson zal dit nooit als oogmerk hebben gehad, omdat hij het lot van zijn personages als universeel zag en dat met veel mededogen noteerde.
