| Book Review | 'The Bell Jar', the only novel written by poet and writer Sylvia Plath, borrows heavily from Plath's own experience, including her four weeks on a magazine scholarship and her subsequent stay in an asylum. Originally published under a pseudonym, 'The Bell Jar' is an intoxicating journey through the world of Esther Greenwood as she struggles to make sense of the world amid its superficialities. The writing style is lyrical and heartbreaking, a prime example of the work of a master. Not a light summer read, but a classic for good reason. |
