Linked Stories

In structure the book [Winesburg, Ohio] lies midway between the novel proper and the mere collection of stories. It is a cycle of stories with several unifying elements, including a single background, a prevailing tone, and a central character. These elements can be found in all cycles, but the best of them also have an underlying plot that is advanced or enriched by each of the stories.

—Malcolm Cowley, Introduction to Winesburg, Ohio
