|  | The Bell Jar by Christina Moore, Diane W. Middlebrook, Frances McCullough, Lois Ames, Sylvia Plath
Plath's only novel, published shortly before her suicide, THE BELL JAR tells the story, based on the author's own experiences, about a young woman's descent into madness. Esther Greenwood spends a month in New York City as a guest magazine editor--just as Plath did as a Mademoiselle magazine intern--and gradually loses her grip on reality. THE BELL JAR was so autobiographical that, when it was first published in 1963 in England, it appeared under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas. AUTHOR: Christina Moore, Diane W. Middlebrook, Frances McCullough, Lois Ames, Sylvia Plath
