Come at me, Gatsby Sherwood Anderson has got yearning for days. For a book from 100 years ago, there’s an awful lot of sex and well written female characters who want more out of life. (And also, we got the roaring twenties as an era by playing fast and loose with margins! No one pay attention to that stock market). That said, eras are funny things – you think of the disco era as the 1970s, but it pushed well into the 80s you look at the 1990s and forget that the grunge era sidled right up to bubblegum pop with only a couple years in between, I refuse to think of the 2000-2010 era as a discrete entity and everything from about 2005 to present feels like “near past.” So I’m sticking by my choice, in part because Winesburg was fairly forward leaning anyway. So, I may have fudged the numbers slightly Winesburg, Ohio technically was published in 1919.
