Description or summary of the audiobook: A vulnerable young girl wins a dream assignment on a big-time New York fashion magazine and finds herself plunged into a nightmare. An autobiographical account of Sylvia Plath's own mental breakdown and suicide attempt, 'The Bell Jar' is more than a confessional novel, it is a comic but painful statement of what happens to a woman's aspirations in a society that refuses to take them seriously... a society that expects electroshock to cure the despair of a sensitive, questioning young artist whose search for identity becomes a terrifying descent toward madness. 'A fine novel, as bitter and remorseless as her last poems - the kind of book Salinger's Fanny might have written about herself ten years later, if she had spent those ten years in Hell.' - Robert Scholes, 'The New York Times Book Review.' 'By turns funny, harrowing, crude, ardent and artless. Its most notable quality is an astonishing immediacy, like a series of snapshots taken at high noon.' - 'Time.' 'A special poignance... a special force, a humbling power, because it shows the vulnerability of people of hope and good will.' - 'Newsweek.'
