He served in the Spanish-American War, worked as an advertising man, and managed an Ohio paint factory before abandoning both job and family to embark on a literary career in Chicago. His first novel, \u003cb\u003eWindy McPherson's Son\u003c\/b\u003e, was published in 1916; his second, \u003cb\u003eMarching Men\u003c\/b\u003e, a characteristic study of the individual in conflict with industrial society, appeared in 1917. But it is \u003cb\u003eWinesburg, Ohio\u003c\/b\u003e (1919), with its disillusioned view of small-town lives, that is generally considered his masterpiece. Later novels--\u003cb\u003ePoor White\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eMany Marriages\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eDark Laughter\u003c\/b\u003e--continued to depict the spiritual poverty of the machine age.
