Sherwood Anderson (1876–1941)
Auteur de Winesburg-en-Ohio
A propos de l'auteur
Sherwood Anderson was born on September 13, 1876, in Camden, Ohio, and grew up in nearby Clyde. In 1898 he joined the U.S. Army and served in the Spanish-American War. In 1900 he enrolled in the Wittenberg Academy. The following year he moved to Chicago where he began a successful business career afficher plus in advertising. Despite his business success, in 1912 Anderson walked away to pursue writing full time. His first novel was Windy McPherson's Son, published in 1916, and his second was Marching Men, published in 1917. The phenomenally successful Winesburg, Ohio, a collection of short stories about fictionalized characters in a small midwestern town, followed in 1919. Anderson wrote novels including The Triumph of the Egg, Poor White, Many Marriages, and Dark Laughter, but it was his short stories that made him famous. Through his short stories he revolutionized short fiction and altered the direction of the modern short story. He is credited with influencing such writers as William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Anderson died in March, 1941, of peritonitis suffered during a trip to South America. The epitaph he wrote for himself proclaims, "Life, not death, is the great adventure." (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

Pauvre Blanc par Sherwood Anderson
> L'un des maîtres américains de la nouvelle donne, dans ce roman, une version sombre et ironique des Temps modernes de Chaplin, vus cette fois du côté des patrons et des inventeurs de machines. Hugh McVey a 20 ans. C'est un long corps froid et puissant dont la principale préoccupation est d'échapper à sa paresse innée. Il finit par échouer à Bidwell, Ohio, où il devient l'inventeur d'une machine à planter les choux et le héros de toute une population. Au fil d'une galerie de portraits, c'est toute l'Amérique qui surgit, celle des pionniers, mais aussi des laissés-pour-compte. Cette peinture sociale de l'industrialisation est aussi un roman du corps et du désir, qui dévoile une Amérique où le culte de l'argent et le mythe du héros laissent entrevoir l'incommunicabilité et la solitude d'êtres "à la fois passablement intelligents et débiles". (St. L., Le Monde)… (plus d'informations)
