Title: A WASTE OF TIME
Review: I picked up The Optimist's Daughter on advice of several recommendations. It is supposedly Welty's best work. Ha! This was certainly among the worst novels I have ever read. The language is poorly structured and she seems to go out of her way to dribble meaningless streams of words. I read it to the bitter end only in the hope that it somehow would get better....it didn't. If you want a great Southern writer I suggest Truman Capote in Other Voices, Other Rooms.
Is the review positive or negative?
