A review by hannahlee
Awake and Sing! by Clifford Odets

3.0

Well-written dialogue and an engaging dysfunctional family drama set during the Great Depression, but ultimately it felt like it wasn't fully developed (and indeed it was Odets' first published work). While I enjoyed the drama and the characters quite a lot, the suddenly optimistic ending didn't sit quite right with me. I guess after all that strife it was difficult to take such unbridled (and unfounded) optimism seriously.
