Many marriages
\"A middle-aged industrialist embraces a gospel of sexual emancipation in this psychological novel. Many Marriages tells of the awakening of a repressed soul who comes to believe in sex as the medium for self-realization. Like then-current works by Sigmund Freud and D. H. Lawrence, the book excited a scandal upon its 1923 publication. In this novel, Anderson continued his use of new psychological insights to explore his characters. His storytelling wrote of sexual freedom, which at the time was deemed obscene. It affected the popularity of his novel, Winesburg, Ohio. Despite this, many writers such as F. Scott Fitzgerald praised Anderson and considered Many Marriages his best novel\"-- Provided by publisher.

Poor white
Hugh McVey moves from Missouri to the agrarian town of Bidwell, Ohio. He invents a mechanical cabbage planter to ease the burden of famers, but an investor in town exploits his product, which fails to succeed. His next invention, a corn cutter, makes him a millionaire and transforms Bidwell into a center of manufacturing. McVey, perennially lonely and ruminative, meets Clara Butterworth, who attends college at nearby Ohio State and is perennially harassed by her potential matches. Published one year after Winesburg, Ohio, in 1920, Poor White has a modernist style, an realist attention to every day life, and an eerily contemporary resonance.
