"Exile's Return (1934) is one of the volumes that cinched Cowley's reputation as the Boswell of the "Lost Generation" of writers and artists who flocked to Paris following World War I. More than just another catalog of anecdotes on the expatriate games of Stein, Hemingway, Joyce, etc., this documents the transition of American literature and culture during one of its greatest periods of change."

Winesburg, Ohio je cyklus poviedok z roku 1919 od Sherwooda Andersona. Dielo je štruktúrované okolo života protagonistu Georga Willarda, od jeho detstva až po rastúcu nezávislosť a konečné opustenie Winesburgu ako mladého muža. Príbeh sa odohráva v fiktívnom meste Winesburg, Ohio. Väčšina textu bola napísaná od konca roku 1915 do začiatku roku 1916, pričom niektoré poviedky boli dokončené bližšie k publikovaniu. Dielo pozostáva z dvadsiatich dvoch poviedok, pričom prvá poviedka, "Kniha grotesiek", slúži ako úvod. Každá z poviedok zdieľa konkrétny charakterový príbeh o boji s osamelosťou a izoláciou, ktoré prenikajú mestom. Štýlovo, vďaka dôrazu na psychologické postrehy postáv a jednoduchému jazyku, je Winesburg, Ohio považované za jedno z najskorších diel modernistickej literatúry. Dielo bolo kriticky prijaté, aj keď s niektorými výhradami k jeho morálnemu tónu a nekonvenčnému rozprávaniu. Napriek poklesu reputácie v 30. rokoch 20. storočia sa od tej doby opäť dostalo do popredia a dnes je považované za jeden z najvplyvnejších portrétov predindustriálneho života v malých mestách v USA.
