Winesburg, Ohio (full title: Winesburg, Ohio: A Group of Tales of Ohio Small-Town Life) is a 1919 short story cycle by the American author Sherwood Anderson. The work is structured around the life of protagonist George Willard, from the time he was a child to his growing independence and ultimate abandonment of Winesburg as a young man.
His most enduring work is the short-story sequence Winesburg, Ohio, [1] which launched his career. Throughout the 1920s, Anderson published several short story collections, novels, memoirs, books of essays, and a book of poetry.
Winesburg, Ohio, is a fictional town that took shape in the imagination of Sherwood Anderson; but in its own way, Winesburg is every bit as real as any actual Ohio town that exists today in our shared physical reality, from Akron to Zanesville.
