Love this dive into Sylvia Plath, thank you! And check out Penny Zang's novel, _Doll Part_s (coming this summer) and Emily Van Duyne's _Loving Sylvia Plath_ for more Plath love. <3
Thanks, Elizabeth! And thank you for the recommendations ☺️ I have seem Emily's book in the uni library so got my eye on that but not come across Penny's novel, so will check that out too!
Yay!! Then my work here is done!! Such a brilliant novel and was really the inspiration many years ago to spark my research into discovering more about Sylvia.
Fantastic essay! I love Winder’s book too, it’s such a great insight into a part of Sylvia’s life that we don’t often hear about. The similarities between her experiences in New York and Esther’s experiences in The Bell Jar are striking. I love how you’ve drawn those comparisons. Thank you for sharing :)
I read the begininng of this and then saw that I could get the audiobook from my library. It was really interesting to get the insight into Plath but also to being a young, ambitious woman in the 1950s. I think the interviews with the other women on the internship was interesting for this aspect. I am now thinking about rereading The Bell Jar. Have you read any biographies about Sylvia Plath? I find her such an interesting character?
Thanks, Michelle, glad you were inspired to listen to the audiobook. I thought it this particular book gave a unique insight into Plath's world in a way I haven't seen in other books.
I have read many different books and biographies on Plath and am in the middle of researching her further, currently reading Letters Home. I have a few other essays on my newsletter about her and her writing. One book that is an interesting read is Euphoria- don't know if you've come across it? It's a fictionalised account of her last year. Again, I have a review on here.
I’ve always been interested in Plath’s summer in New York after reading The Bell Jar and her journals, and after doing a project on her recently. This was a fantastic read!

You’re welcome! Both @Penny Zang and @Emily Van Duyne are here too so that’s loads of Plath fun.
Thanks, loved reading that
Ah, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. This was such an interesting read. You have inspired me to seek out the Bell Jar finally.

Thanks I will have a look around!
Great read.
Have you seen the movie LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR? If so what did you think?
Thanks! No, I've never come across that movie before!
It's true story of Sylvia Plath. Read about it and see if you would like it. Based on her book.
Thanks, I'll go and check it out! I'm always obsessed with anything to do with Sylvia ❤️
Excellent read. Thank you.
Thanks, Carole 😀

Thank you, Kaydyn! She's still such a fascinating person to study.
Really loved this. So informative and well written.
