SUMMARY:CANCELED: Connect with the Classics: Winesburg\, Ohio
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This program has been canceled due to insufficient 
 registration.\n\nThis month\, we're reading and discussing Winesburg\, 
 Ohio\, by Sherwood Anderson\, a "short story cycle\," or collection of 
 interconnected short stories\, that explores the lives\, secrets\, 
 resentments\, and quiet longings of neighbors in a small Midwestern town. 
 You may never have heard of the book\, but it inspired a generation of 
 great American novelists\, including William Faulkner\, Ernest Hemingway\, 
 and John Steinbeck. As always\, no formal analysis required—just good 
 discussion and good company.\n\nWe'll need at least two registrations to 
 hold the discussion\, so we strongly encourage you to register. (You can 
 always cancel if you won't be able to join us.) Copies of the book are 
 available for checkout at the first-floor service desk.\n\nAbout Connect 
 With the Classics\n\nThis is a monthly series of casual discussions about 
 "classic" literature\, defined very loosely. Discussions are open to all\, 
 whether you're an occasional reader or a serious book club fan.\n\nAbout 
 Winesburg\, Ohio\n\nWinesburg\, Ohio is a little-known masterpiece that 
 forever changed the course of American storytelling. Bittersweet and richly 
 insightful\, it reveals Sherwood Anderson's special talent for transforming 
 the small moments of life into timeless folk tales. At the center of this 
 collection of stories stands George Willard\, an earnest young reporter for 
 the Winesburg Eagle who sets out to gather the town's daily news. He ends 
 up discovering the town's deepest secrets as\, one by one\, the townsfolk 
 confide their hopes\, dreams\, and fears to the reporter. In their 
 recollections of first loves and last rites\, of sprawling farms and 
 winding country roads\, the town rises vividly and poignantly to life. With 
 polished prose and fresh imagery\, Winesburg\, Ohio is an American classic 
 that celebrates small-town life in the lost days of innocence and goodwill.
