«Il trionfo dell'uovo» is the collection of short stories by Sherwood Anderson, published by Piano B in paperback (224 pages, in Italian).
Collection of fifteen stories set in the American Midwest portraying characters deformed by loneliness and violence. The common thread is the grotesque, treated with compassion and pity: the American dream shatters on dusty roads and desolate stations, and its inhabitants await an epiphany that almost always becomes awareness of the impossibility of liberation.
Translation by Daniele Suardi. The volume belongs to the Controtempo collection.
For those who enjoy classic American short fiction and literature of characters marked by failure and loneliness.
Sherwood Anderson 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.
