Winesburg, Ohio / Sherwood Anderson
Livre
Edité par Penguin. Amsterdam , 1992
The work explores the theme of loneliness and frustration in small-town America. Anderson conveys the half-conscious thoughts and raw emotions of Winesburg's residents and their inability to express their deep hopes and fears. The townspeople are repressed and inarticulate. They seem to gravitate toward George, telling him their strange, often sad stories in the hope that, in writing the stories of their lives, he will be able to impart dignity and meaning to their personal struggles and experiences. The chapter "Paper Pills" recounts how the misshapen apples - the grotesques of the orchard - are ignored, left on the tree, where they slowly ripen until they fall. Those that bother to taste these discarded grotesques discover they are the sweetest of apples.
