I just read Winesburg, Ohio and I was blown away. I loved the small town themes. I loved the simple, but impactful writing. I just loved it. Should I read more Anderson? Where do I go next? Any recommendations for other books like this? Bonus if short stories.

Hey no worries man. If you were in Western Europe I'd have mailed it to you.

Mohawk and Empire Falls by Richard Russo

Some great small town writing. Give Flannery O' Connor's short stories a try as well.

Martian chronicles by Bradbury. He even name drops winesburg, Ohio in the intro.
Obviously more sci fi but I think you'll find many parallels

Anything by Carson McCullers, really. John Cheever, for that matter. You might also like Annie Dillard.
