 | The Journals of Sylvia Plath by Karen V. Kukil
Kukil, curator of the Plath collection at Smith college, edited this complete edition of Plath`s journals. Spanning the years 1950 to 1959, Plath`s journals reveal a young, talented woman maturing into an important poet. Her observations--whether catty, sad, or occasionally witty--contribute much to Plath scholarship, as they chart her day to day progress and struggle as a woman and a poet. The appendix collects fragments of later entries, including one describing the birth of her second child. This volume does not include journals she kept leading up to her suicide, as these were destroyed after her death. AUTHOR: Karen V. Kukil

 | Close up on Sunset Boulevard by Elizabeth Beier, Sam Staggs
Everything there is to know about one of Hollywood's most scandalous and brilliant pictures makes its way into the pages of obsessed fan Sam Staggs's book. Famous for many reasons, SUNSET BOULEVARD probably ruined, restored, resurrected, and reinvigorated more careers than any other movie. With a history like that, there are a lot of stories, each of which Staggs manages to track down, from the well-known rants of outraged mogul Louis B. Mayer to the tossed-off caustics of director Billy Wilder. Text accompanied by 16 b&w photographs. AUTHOR: Elizabeth Beier, Sam Staggs
