I found this story really confusing. I did not enjoy it very much.

I mentioned this book in my review of The Jungle so I figured I should review it as well.
This is a book I was required to read for an AmLit class in college and I found myself shaken by the content. It's a very sad, dreary book but it is also very beautiful. It chronicles the terror of industrial work and focuses very heavily on the tragedy of being working class during this time period.
Unfortunately, it has been quite some time since I read this one so I am shelving it as a re-read so I may give a better review.

The title story is a classic but the others in the collection are fairly dull, as is the biographical essay by Tillie Olsen.
