Sherwood Anderson

Dark Laughter Sherwood Anderson

A story of the 1920's post-war life in America, and in particular in the Middle West, the Ohio River Valley, the Mississippi, and New Orleans. An intense love story is superimposed upon a background of dark laughter, along with dealing with the newfound sexual freedom of the 1920s. Sherwood Anderson's best-selling novel, it was influenced by Joyce's Ulysses and presents an intricate look into the inner workings of relationships between men and women against (what is now) a historical backdrop of 1920's America.
