Growing up, marriage, and family.
The search for inspiration and one’s place in society.
The line between life and death, real and imagined worlds…
These themes were close to Sylvia Plath, and precisely they are reflected in her short prose—stories written by Plath in different years: some of them were published during her brief lifetime, others—posthumously. Plath herself was known for her harsh self-criticism, which made her put many successful and talented works “in a drawer.”
The diary entries by Sylvia Plath, also included in this collection, open to the reader her most private thoughts and feelings.
