Sherwood Anderson's deeply moving masterpiece of life in a small Ohio town at the end of the nineteenth century--now in dyslexia-friendly font!

George Willard is a young reporter on the Winesburg Eagle to whom, one by one, the inhabitants of Winesburg, Ohio, confide their hopes, their dreams, and their fears. This town of friendly but solitary people comes to life as Anderson's special talent exposes the emotional undercurrents that bind its people together. In this timeless cycle of short stories, he lays bare the life of a small town in the American Midwest, illuminating the loneliness and frustrations -- spiritual, emotional and artistic -- of life in a small town.

A great success on its first publication in 1919, Winesburg, Ohio profoundly influenced a generation of fiction writers with its deeply moving poetic realism, and it endures as a classic portrait of American life. It is considered one of the most influential portraits of pre-industrial small-town life in the United States, and one of the earliest works of Modernist literature. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Winesburg, Ohio 24th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.

This special edition from Common Classics has been updated with a dyslexia-friendly font designed to increase readability for readers with dyslexia. Unique letter shapes, heavy weighted bottoms, and wider letter spacing may help some symptoms of dyslexia.
