Both fictional and autobiographical, Anderson's debut novel is a coming of age story that explores themes of unhappiness and infidelity while illustrating the frustrations of the son of an abusive father. Although he is known today for his story collection \u003ci\u003eWinesburg, Ohio\u003c\/i\u003e, a pioneering work of Modernist fiction admired for its plainspoken language and psychological detail, Anderson's \u003ci\u003eWindy McPherson's Son\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful work of fiction that helped establish him as a leading realist writer of his generation. \"At the beginning of the long twilight of a summer evening, Sam McPherson, a tall big-boned boy of thirteen, with brown hair, black eyes, and an amusing little habit of tilting his chin in the air as he walked, came upon the platform of the little corn-shipping town of Caxton in Iowa.\" With a cigar in his hand and a bundle of newspapers under his arm, the young Sam McPherson appears both overly proud and ambitious for his age. Those that know him, however, understand that he has no choice. Left to fend for himself by an alcoholic father, Sam dreams of making a name for himself and escaping the small town of his birth. When an ill-fated affair with an older teacher leaves him disgraced, McPherson abandons his father for Chicago, where he finds work as a purchaser of farming equipment. Soon, he falls in love with his boss' daughter, the beautiful Sue Rainey. \u003ci\u003eWindy McPherson's Son\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of the American Dream, for all of its difficult truths and convenient fictions. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Sherwood Anderson's \u003ci\u003eWindy McPherson's Son\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in a small Ohio town, Sam McPherson applies himself in work and school from a young age.
