Title:
The bell jar
Summary:
The Bell Jar chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: young, brilliant, beautiful, and enormously talented, but slowly going under--maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther’s breakdown with such intensity that Esther’s neurosis becomes completely understandable and even rational, as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. Such thorough exploration of the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche--and the profound collective loneliness that modern society has yet to find a solution for--is an extraordinary accomplishment, and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic. -- Amazon.
