In these stories from the author of Winesburg, Ohio, the downtrodden citizens of small-town America wrestle with isolation, desire, and the weight of the past. A lonely farmer's wife longs to escape her dreary existence. An aimless young man drifts from job to job, chasing the allure of the city. A former soldier confronts the demons that haunt him. Beneath the surface of these ordinary lives, Anderson uncovers the universal human need for connection and meaning.
