    An American classic for all that love short stories. Loosly led through Winesburg, Ohio by the young George Willard, the towns news reporter, we get to know a cast of many different characters that live in this midwestern place. The feeling of longing and that life is bound to begin elsewhere are woven through all twenty two tales. Andersons characters struggle to communicate with each other always seems believable and never tip into charicatures of miscommunications. The tone of the narrative voice stays in a reporting tone for most all of the book, but once it leaves this modus, Anderson surprises with pleasantly poetic passages. I can only recommend this book to anyone that wants to dive into a master work of the twentieth century that influenced other greatAmerican writers like Hemingway and Faulkner.
