Explanation and Analysis:

Winesburg, Ohio is a work of literary modernism. As a short story cycle, the entire work tells a loose story of the coming of age of one character, George Willard, although each story nominally has its own subject—typically one resident or one family in Winesburg—and it tells a self-contained story with its own narrative arc.
