Bag om Winesburg, Ohio

Winesburg, Ohio is a collection of interconnected short stories written by Sherwood Anderson and published in 1922. The book is set in the fictional town of Winesburg, Ohio, and explores the lives of ordinary people living in small-town America during the early 20th century.
