Description: <i>The Bell Jar</i> is a novel about the events of Sylvia Plath's 20th year: about how she tried to die, and how they stuck her together with glue. It is a fine novel, as bitter and remorseless as her last poems--the kind of book Salinger's Franny might have written about herself 10 years later, if she had spent those 10 years in Hell.
