The Egg and Other Stories (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)

Malcolm Cowley called Sherwood Anderson "the only storyteller of his generation who left a mark on the style and vision of the generation that followed . . . Hemingway, Faulkner, Wolfe, Steinbeck . . . each owes an unmistakable debt to Anderson". This collection of stories--much praised upon its hardcover publication in 1992--offers the best of Anderson's mature work .
