A Story-Teller's Story: Memoirs of Youth and Middle Age
reviewed on + 191 more book reviews


In Sherwood Anderson's own words, these classic memoirs are "the tale of an American writer's jounrey through his own imaginative world and through the world of facts, with many of his experiences and impressions among other writers"

The book is much more than that: It is the story of an artist and an idealist in his untiring struggle against the materialism and standardization of American life.
