{"product_id":"the-man-from-winesburg-bruce-falconer-9781324020769","title":"The Man from Winesburg: A Life of Sherwood Anderson","description":"\u003cp\u003eLiterary father of the Lost Generation, leading figure of the Chicago literary renaissance, pioneer of the American short story, and author of the monumental \u003cem\u003eWinesburg, Ohio\u003c\/em\u003e--Sherwood Anderson was a quintessentially American writer. From Anderson's small-town childhood to his influence on American literary legends like Faulkner, Hemingway, Wolfe, and Steinbeck, \u003cem\u003eThe Man from Winesburg\u003c\/em\u003e follows Anderson as he traces the shifting contours of a rapidly transforming nation--and while he wanders the country in search of connection and meaning. Bruce Falconer, executive editor of the \u003cem\u003eAmerican Scholar\u003c\/em\u003e, shows how Anderson suffered terribly from suicidal depressions and nervous breakdowns; became notorious for his romantic failures; and wrote books both banned and acclaimed for directly addressing sex, repression, and perversion. \u003cem\u003eThe Man from Winesburg\u003c\/em\u003e describes the poignant life of a writer who fought against the ugliest aspects of America's soul--rapacious capitalism, economic inequality, racial enmity, and above all, loneliness--while aspiring to belong to something larger than the moment at hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Falconer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1324020768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324020769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
