«The Egg and Other Stories» is a collection of short stories by Sherwood Anderson, published by Dover Publications Inc. in paperback (128 pages, in English).
Stories from the American Midwest where the simple prose conceals a penetrating psychological gaze: epiphanies, erotic tensions and outbursts of passion surface in restrained, taciturn characters. In the title story, a farmer's son recalls his father's obsession with making a fortune from eggs.
The stories come from The Triumph of the Egg, Sherwood Anderson's original volume published in 1921; this edition belongs to the Dover Thrift Editions series.
Suitable for readers aged 14 and over interested in the classics of twentieth-century American short fiction.
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.
