Death in the Woods and Other Stories
Death in the Woods and Other Stories | Sherwood Anderson
2 posts | 3 read
Sherwood Anderson's short stories, beautifully crafted and evocative of time and place, were hugely influential in their day. The title story in this collection, 'Death in the Woods', is widely regarded as a masterpiece - the narrator looks back at an incident in his childhood where an old woman dies in the cold - in life she was destined to feed those around her, after her death, he feeds from her too.

I‘ve been dabbling off and on for months with this amusing collection of jazzy short stories after I read a Gertrude Stein poem about Anderson. Well worth the read to feel electrified by a bygone era.
