The bell jar / Sylvia Plath ; biographical note by Lois Ames ; drawings by Sylvia Plath.

Plath, Sylvia. (Author). Ames, Lois. (Added Author).

Summary:

Chronicles the crackup of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, successful -- but slowly going under, and maybe for the last time. Step by careful step, Sylvia Plath takes us with Esther through a painful month in New York as a contest-winning junior editor on a magazine, her increasingly strained relationships with her mother, and with the boy she dated in college, and eventually, devastatingly, into the madness itself.
