Winesburg, Ohio depicts the strange, secret lives of the inhabitants of a small town.

In “Adventure,” lonely Alice Hindman impulsively walks naked into the night rain. Threaded through the stories is the viewpoint of George Willard, the young newspaper reporter who, like his creator, stands witness to the dark and despairing dealings of a community of isolated people.
