  • Dark Laughter is a 1925 novel by the American author Sherwood Anderson. It dealt with the new sexual freedom of the 1920s, a theme also explored in his 1923 novel Many Marriages and later works. The influence of James Joyce's Ulysses, which Anderson had read before writing the 1925 novel, is expressed in Dark Laughter. Dark Laughter was Anderson's only best-seller during his life, but today he is better known and respected for Winesburg, Ohio. Out of print since the early 1960s, since the late twentieth century the novel has been considered a failure by some critics, including Kim Townsend, the author of a 1985 biography of Anderson. Ernest Hemingway parodied Dark Laughter in his early short work The Torrents of Spring. Hemingway's novella mocked the pretensions of Anderson's style and characters. Gertrude Stein, his former mentor, objected to the young writer's parody of a writer who had helped him get published, and they had a falling-out. The novel was included in Life Magazine's list of the 100 outstanding books of 1924–1944. (en)
  • Riso nero (Dark Laughter) è un romanzo di Sherwood Anderson del 1925. Il romanzo riprende il tema del precedente Molti matrimoni del 1923, anche se nel frattempo Anderson aveva letto l'Ulisse di James Joyce. Sebbene Winesburg, Ohio sia l'opera di Anderson più nota oggigiorno, Riso nero fu l'unico suo bestseller mentre era in vita. Nei paesi di lingua inglese è stato fuori commercio dagli inizi degli anni sessanta, e alcuni critici contemporanei considerano il romanzo controverso a causa, in larga parte, dei temi e di un linguaggio attualmente considerato razzista o sessista. Ernest Hemingway scrisse una parodia di Riso nero in uno dei suoi primi lavori, Torrenti di primavera. Il racconto di Hemingway prende in giro le pretese stilistiche di Anderson e i suoi personaggi, e a causa di questo la sua amicizia con Gertrude Stein, suo mentore, venne a concludersi. (it)
  • Dark Laughter is een roman uit 1925 van de Amerikaanse auteur Sherwood Anderson. Het boek gaat over de nieuwe seksuele vrijheid van de jaren 1920, een thema dat Anderson ook al exploreerde in andere romans zoals Many Marriages uit 1923. Anderson had voor hij aan de roman begon Ulysses van James Joyce gelezen, en dat is aan Dark Laughter te merken. Dark Laughter zou Andersons enige bestseller blijven, maar tegenwoordig wordt hij als auteur nog meer gewaardeerd voor uit 1919. Dark Laughter werd al sinds de vroege jaren 1960 niet meer herdrukt, en werd door sommige critici zelfs beschouwd als een mislukking. Ook Andersons biograaf Kim Townsend, die in 1985 een boek over hem publiceerde, dacht daar zo over. Ernest Hemingway parodieerde Dark Laughter in zijn vroege korte werk . Hemingways novelle bespot de pretenties van Andersons stijl en personages. Dat was niet naar de zin van Gertrude Stein, die Hemingway verweet met deze parodie zijn vroegere mentor aan te pakken die hem geholpen had bij zijn eerste publicatie. (nl)
