Return to Winesburg: Selections from Four Years of Writing for a Country Newspaper

This book, which encompasses the years from 1927 through 1931, is the first comprehensive sampler of Anderson’s writings in the two weekly newspapers of which he was owner, publisher, reporter, copy writer, and printer. These articles from the files of the Marion Democrat and the Smyth County News reflect Anderson’s interests in the local countryside that subsequently figured in his creative works.

Originally published in 1967.
