Who is this book for? Readers interested in American literature, character-driven stories, and explorations of small-town life.

Topics IsolationFriendshipIdentitySocial Class
MoodReflective, Melancholic
RomanceMinor Subplot
Anderson profoundly changed the American short story, transforming it from light, popular entertainment into literature of the highest quality. His art belonged as much to an oral as a written tradition, and, as this collection shows, the best of his stories echo the language and the pace of a man talking to his friends. They explore with penetrating compassion the isolation of the individual and capture the emotional undercurrents hidden beneath ordinary events.
