Upcoming Book Selection

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
Call Number: PS3566.L27 B4
ISBN: 9780060174903
Esther Greenwood is brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful, but slowly going under--maybe for the last time. In her acclaimed and enduring masterwork, Sylvia Plath brilliantly draws the reader into Esther's breakdown with such intensity that her neurosis becomes palpably real, even rational--as accessible an experience as going to the movies. A deep penetration into the darkest and most harrowing corners of the human psyche. The Bell Jar is an extraordinary accomplishment and a haunting American classic.
