A review by quoththegirl
The Golden Apples by Eudora Welty

2.0

I’ve been plodding my way through The Golden Apples for what seems an eternity. I think I’ve been indulging in a little too much Welty lately, or maybe this just isn’t as good as her other works, but for some reason I’m bored stiff. The chapters are very long, very uneventful short stories that more or less all tie together into one timeline, and I know I read “Moon Lake” in another collection. I was unimpressed that time too. Nothing happens, and it takes such a long time doing it--a good bit of the action that does take place is seemingly random or at least without consequences.

Goodness, I’m such a Gloomy Gus of a reader this week!
