Say what you want about Sylvia but you can’t say she wasn’t talented

Jeg har så lyst til å like den skikkelig godt, men den treffer meg ikke helt der den skal. Tror mange av metaforene går over my head, som at Johnny Bible er en metafor for Sylvia Plath sine mentale lidelser.
En short story her og der traff skikkelig da, sånn nesten frysninger liksom:)
Veldig glad jeg ikke har hennes hode

Exquisitely precise writing, and very savvy insights into the human psyche. Definite air of sadness throughout - so much talent and potential lost.

Though she is mainly known for poetry, Sylvia Plath’s narrative writing is commendable and, even her earlier works when she was just a student. Stories like “The Fifty-Ninth Bear”, The Fifteen-Dollar Eagle, and the title story are stand-outs for me. Definitely a deserving read.

i am glad that i read her shorter prose works after reading the first volume of her letters; it allowed me to truly get a sense of how confessionalist she was, even in her earlier prose.
