A Widow's Story by Joyce Carol Oates

1.0

---

I grudgingly finished reading the first chapter of this only because I had to use it for a grad school paper. I refuse to read any more because I can't stand Oates' writing style. Her sentences are so long and convoluted that when you eventually get to the end of a sentence (which might be pages long and filled with dozens of dashes) you've lost track of the point. I might have enjoyed reading the content, but I have no desire to struggle though this.
