About This Item
New York. 1992. Four Walls Eight Windows. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0941423859. Edited by Charles E. Modlin. 359 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Martin Moskof. keywords: Literature America . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Until now there has never been a selection of Anderson's best short fiction. Certain Things Last is the first one-volume edition of Anderson's stories. But what makes this book truly remarkable is that five of Anderson's very best stories appear in print here for the first time. They are: Certain Things Last,' Fred,' The Red Dog,' Mrs. Wife,' and The Masterpiece.' The discovery of these new stories makes Certain Things Last an unprecedented publishing event. The short story, not the novel or autobiography, was the form in which Sherwood Anderson excelled. And the American short story probably owes more to Sherwood Anderson than to any other American writer. It was Anderson who wrested short fiction from the upbeat conventionality of the popular magazines of the 1920s and 30s and molded it to express the isolation of individual people. Certain Things Last contains 30 stories in all, chosen from previously unpublished manuscripts and from Anderson's three story volumes, The Triumph of the Egg, Horses and Men, and Death in the Woods. Numerous stories have been meticulously restored to Anderson's original version by Professor Modlin. inventory #17380 ISBN: 0941423859.
