Windy McPherson`s Son

& 34;Nothing quite like it has ever been done in America. . . . It is so vivid, so full of insight, so shiningly life-like and glowing, that the book is lifted into a category all its own,& 34; wrote H.L. Mencken, speaking of Anderson& 39;s Winesburg, Ohio. Anderson, he said, is& 34;America& 39;s Most Distinctive Novelist.& 34;Windy McPherson& 39;s Son, Anderson& 39;s 1916 first novel, concerns a boy& 39;s life in Iowa. Like all of Anderson& 39;s tales, it& 39;s an important social commentary, and not to be overlooked.
