Events › Adult Book Discussion: The Bell Jar

Join Blackstone Branch for a discussion of The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.

The Bell Jaris a classic of American literature. Originally published under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas" in 1963--only a month before the author's suicide--Sylvia Plath's harrowing autobiographical novel traces a young woman's descent into an emotional breakdown. The brilliant and disturbing story of Esther Greenwood's journey from the glamorous world of magazine publishing in New York to the isolating world of the asylum has become one of the most famous books of the late twentieth century and still has all its power to shock and move us.
