Sherwood Anderson

The Triumph of the Egg Sherwood Anderson

The Triumph of the Egg is a fictional panorama of a great region of our country, unfolded by a writer who--to quote the New York Times--"depicts life in the Midwest as Dostoevsky pictured the many colored life of Russia, with almost as wonderful a touch of genius, with a more concentrated and daring skill."

This coveted 1921 collection is an example of what a book of stories can be when a writer of vision deals with the materials of American life.
