Winesburg, Ohio

Set in a fictional small town in Ohio modeled after Anderon's hometown, Winesburg, Ohio: A Group of Tales of Ohio Small-Town Life is a short-story cycle centered around one protagonist -- George Willard -- and his life in Winesburg, from his time as a child to his eventual adulthood when he abandons the town. Winesburg, Ohio is considered one of the greatest and most influential works of American fiction, one of the landmark works of early American modernism and a quintessential portrait of pre-industrial small town America.
