Not up to par with expectations
I thought I would really enjoy this classic since I grew up in small-town Ohio. I found it very difficult to stick with some of the stories, but muddled through. Some tales were decent but they would end too soon. It is an easy read and some may really enjoy it but I did not.

Winesburg, Ohio
Winesburg, Ohio is a book full of unhappy people.Those who are married seem especially unhappy....the women are all tall and dark, the men are all "thinkers".Tho it won the Pulitzer, it was not a great book to read.Redeeming factor--makes OLIVE KITTEREDGE look really good--those stories are also about folks in a small town, also won Pulitzer, and I thought it a better read.

A patchwork of small-town American Midwestern life
For someone who grew up in a small town (pop. 1000) in southern Indiana, I immediately drew a connection with Winesburg. Anderson's portrayal of the local residents leads people to believe that small town life can have the same problems as city life.

Caricatures of small-town life
This is a collection of stories of people in small-town America at the turn of the last century. The book attempts to provide insight by presenting "grotesques" or caricatures of people and their lives. The major themes are loneliness and failure, and so one can imagine that the tales are not very uplifting. The book is fairly easy to read and depicts a suprising view of pre-industrial life.

A classic American book
