(1876-1941) è stato uno scrittore americano. Di umili origini, abbandonò all’età di 14 anni la scuola per aiutare economicamente la famiglia. Sposato, direttore di una fabbrica di vernici, un giorno abbandonò d’improvviso famiglia e lavoro per seguire la vocazione di scrittore, dapprima a Chicago poi a New York e a Parigi. Nelle sue opere denuncia il disadattamento, lo smarrimento dell’individuo in una società sempre più meccanizzata, creando una mitica provincia americana, abitata da giovani ribelli, da sognatori, da «diversi», in fuga dalla storia Tra i suoi scritti: Winesburg, Ohio (1919); Un povero bianco (1920); Molti matrimoni (1922); Riso nero (1925).

Winesburg, Ohio is a 1919 short story cycle by the American author Sherwood Anderson. Sherwood Anderson (1876–1941) was an American novelist and short story writer, known for subjective and self-revealing works. Self-educated, he rose to become a successful copywriter and business owner in Cleveland and Elyria, Ohio. In 1912, Anderson had a nervous breakdown that led him to abandon his business and family to become a writer. The work is structured around the life of protagonist George Willard, from the time he was a child to his growing independence and ultimate abandonment of Winesburg as a young man. It is set in the fictional town of Winesburg, Ohio (not to be confused with the actual Winesburg), which is based loosely on the author's childhood memories of Clyde, Ohio. Mostly written from late 1915 to early 1916, with a few stories completed closer to publication, they were "...conceived as complementary parts of a whole, centered in the background of a single community." The book consists of twenty-two stories, with the first story, "The Book of the Grotesque", serving as an introduction.
