I'm not a poetry reader, so I've never really read Plath's poems. But like any self-respecting depressed female teenager I read her memoir The Bell Jar. This collection doesn't contain any of her poetry either, its short stories & articles of varying strengths, along with notebook entries. Its interesting to see how some of her journal entries later became short stories, & I enjoyed this book a lot. There were a few dud stories, but even with those you can understand her ideas & as she never published any of these dud ones herself its likely she knew they weren't as strong as the others. I'm not sure what the point was in including excerpts from her journals, particularly her Cambridge Notes. The essays and stories easily stand on their own. The stories are a mixed bag from the hopeful romantic "Day of Success" to the dark, disturbing title story "Sunday at the Mintons'" seemed the most representative of her poetical themes -- a woman whose life is overshadowed by a domineering man and the helplessness of such a life, yet the spirit is alive in the woman. Most were good stories although some were too dark for my taste. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
