The Bell Jar is Sylvia Plath''s only novel. Renowned for
its intensity and outstandingly vivid prose, it broke existing
boundaries between fiction and reality and helped to make Plath an
enduring feminist icon. It was published under a pseudonym a few
weeks before the author''s suicide.
''It is a fine novel, as bitter and remorseless as her last poems
. . . The world in which the events of the novel take place is a
world bounded by the Cold War on one side and the sexual war on the
other . . . This novel is not political nor historical in any
narrow sense, but in looking at the madness of the world and the
world of madness it forces us to consider the great question posed
by all truly realistic fiction: What is reality and how can it be
confronted? . . . Esther Greenwood''s account of her year in the
bell jar is as clear and readable as it is witty and disturbing.''
