Windy McPherson's Son
"Windy McPherson's Son" by Sherwood Anderson is a novel published in 1916. It follows Sam McPherson's journey from ambitious newsboy in small-town Iowa, embarrassed by his drunkard father, to successful Chicago businessman. As Sam climbs the corporate ladder, his personal life crumbles—his marriage fails, and professional triumphs leave him empty. Wealthy but unhappy, he abandons everything to wander America seeking meaning. Anderson's debut novel explores the American dream's hollow promises and one man's search for authentic fulfillment beyond material success.
