The Triumph of the Egg

Exploring American life through a blend of short stories and poetry, this collection showcases Sherwood Anderson's keen observations and impressions. Originally published in 1921, it reflects his unique literary voice and captures the essence of his experiences, from his early life in Ohio to his service in the Spanish-American War. Despite being viewed as a minor work, it contributes to Anderson's broader literary legacy, which includes several notable publications during the 1920s. The new edition features a biography that enriches the reader's understanding of the author.
