It's a new week and the midpoint of celebrating National Short Story Month. And so, today's selection is a story from the Midwest, and from one of the most remarkable short-story collections written or published in the United States.
"The story of Wing Biddlebaum is a story of hands. Their restless activity, like unto the beating of the wings of an imprisoned bird, had given him his name. Some obscure poet of the town had thought of it. The hands alarmed their owner."
"Hands" by Sherwood Anderson,
from his story collection Winesburg, Ohio (1919)
