Following up my recent fiction book post, this is a paper cutting I did in 2008 of my favorite author, Sherwood Anderson, posted originally in that same year (see all posts relating to Sherwood Anderson HERE). I added the color in photoshop with the thought that I could emulate the neon psychedelic style of Victor Moscoso, whose art I admire greatly and has inspired me in major ways and is now one of my facebook friends — that blows my mind a little bit. I posted about him back in 2008 HERE. I digress. My purpose for posting this is to pass on a link to one of Sherwood’s short stories, and maybe one of the most powerful short stories I’ve ever read: Unlighted Lamps. He has an amazing way of portraying the inner psyche of each of his characters, which I love.
By the way, he died from a stomach infection after accidently swallowing the tip of his toothpick that broke off in his martini. Drink carefully, friends.
