A vunerable young girl wins a dream assignment on a big-time New York fashion magazine and finds herself plunged into a nightmare. An autobiographical account of Sylvia Plath's own mental breakdown and sucide attempt. THE BELL JAR is more than a confessional novel, its a comic but painful statement of what happens to a woman's aspirations in a society that refuses to take them seriously...a society that expects electroshock to cure the despair of a sensitive, questioning your artist whose search for identity becomes a terrifying descent toward madness.
