Review

Came across this online as a free short story and decided to read it. Otherwise, I have never read anything by Sherwood Anderson. This story is focused on a character and how a woman he was involved with just before his wedding, even though he doesn’t love her like his wife, has stayed in his mind at certain times. This is how the mind does work. It is impossible to have thoughts of that nature and not have them become associated in the future, to pop back out from time to time. I think we all have experienced this in different ways. Interesting, but a minor little story.
