- Death in the Woods is a 1933 short story collection by Sherwood Anderson. The stories are a loose retelling of events from the narrator's childhood, as he attempts to explain a death and its relationship to other lives. The narrators in the stories are generally unreliable because Anderson is attempting to portray dysfunctional narrators who are trying to find meaning and beauty in the everyday life of common people, a theme common throughout the whole book. For example, the first story "Death in the Woods" is about the death of an old woman. The narrator, looking back, tries to organize his memories and create meaning and beauty from them. Rather than remembering an aged woman, he remembers a beautiful, "statuesque" and almost marble figure. The last story is about a dysfunctional family who experiences death in various ways- a potential physical death of a son and a rather more serious death that is not physical. It reflects on family relationships and how "enemies" among the family constantly occur, for example, a mother-daughter or father-son enmity.
