I'm a Fool

Sherwood Anderson began publishing in 1914 and devoted himself fully to literature in 1923. His collections of novellas—“Winesburg, Ohio,” “The Triumph of the Egg,” “Horses and People,” and others—belong to the best pages of American literature, and became an example for William Faulkner, Thomas Wolfe, Ernest Hemingway, and Ray Bradbury. Moreover, it was Hemingway who authored a parody of Anderson—a story called “April Water” (or “Spring Waters”), which marked a creative break between the writers. Nobel Prize in Literature winners Sinclair Lewis and John Steinbeck called Sherwood Anderson even more deserving of that award.
