{"product_id":"man-from-winesburg","title":"Man from Winesburg","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","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57555413303669,"sku":"9781324020769","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/man-from-winesburg","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
