That is really interesting juxtaposing the two together. I guess I can see how that works. I'd be really interested to read that essay. Huh. That is really interesting juxtaposing the two together.

Montgomery Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:19:33 +0000 http://jadekeller.com/?p=994#comment-1479 Recently, I read an essay by Alice Walker which compared Hurston's book with Kate Chopin's The Awakening. Because of this, I plan on reading them together. Walker points out the similarities, the major differnce being the endings; how each woman handles her situation. The dialect will be a challenge, but I look forward to reading this. Thank you for sharing your insights.

I much prefer when authors just do a few inflections indicative of a particular dialect and let the reader's imagination fill in the rest. But yeah, I think this book is worth a read, and after a couple of chapters, it's easier to get used to the dialect. Plus at 190-some-odd pages, it's a short read!

But clearly, I should just bite the bullet and give it a whirl because everyone says it's worth the effort! I’ve never read anything by this author because I REALLY dislike dialect in books.
