À propos de cet audio
Winesburg, Ohio is a little-known masterpiece that forever changed the course of American storytelling. Bittersweet and richly insightful, it reveals Sherwood Anderson’s special talent for taking the small moments of life and transforming them into timeless folk tales - a talent that inspired a generation of writers including William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, and John Steinbeck.
At the center of this collection of stories stands George Willard, an earnest young reporter for the Winesburg Eagle who sets out to gather the town’s daily news. He ends up discovering the town’s deepest secrets as one by one, the townsfolk confide their hopes, dreams, and fears to the reporter. In their recollections of first loves and last rites, of sprawling farms and winding country roads, the town rises vividly - and poignantly - to life.
With polished prose and fresh imagery, Winesburg, Ohio is an American classic that celebrates small-town life in the lost days of innocence and good will.

A hard book to review
Winesburg, Ohio is a challenging book for me to review. At times, I felt like I was reading one of the great works of American literature. At other times, all I felt was confusion, by what was said and not said.
What I tried to do with this book was to put myself into the shoes of the people of Winesburg, Ohio and see things from their perspective. In almost every book I read, no matter when it was written, I am usually able to do this to some extent.
I think this is a very good book that is worth reading. Why I stop short of giving it 5 stars is because I believe the work of the great writer is to communicate his ideas clearly into the mind of the reader. Perhaps this is more a reflection of the shortcomings of my own mind, however I felt that this book did not entirely accomplish this goal.
However, the stories of the people of Winesburg, Ohio are relatable enough to the modern reader, and communicated well enough by the author, that I would still recommend reading this book. It just hasn’t yet made the imprint in my mind that other great works of literature has. 4/5
