The Bell Jar chronicles the breakdown of the brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful Esther Greenwood, a woman slowly going under -- maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's demise with such intensity that the character's insanity becomes completely real, even rational -- as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.

উপন্যাস, তবে সেমি-অটোবায়োগ্রাফিক। কিছু স্টেরিওটাইপ ভালো লাগে নাই। এবং, মাঝেমধ্যে মনে হয়েছে প্লাথ হয়ত রেসিস্ট ছিলেন।
অনেকে এই বইটিতে 'ফেমিনিজম' পেয়েছেন, আমি পাইনি। অবশ্যই প্লাথ স্বাধীনচেতা। কিন্তু সেটা তার চাহিদা। ফেমিনিজম শুধুমাত্র সেই চাহিদাটা না। বরং, নারীদের সেই চাহিদা এবং তার অনুকূলে সিদ্ধান্ত নেওয়ার যৌক্তিকতা বিষয়ক দর্শন ও আন্দোলন হচ্ছে ফেমিনিজম। বইটায় চাহিদাটা আছে, দর্শন নেই।

While I enjoyed this book when I first read it in high school, 25 years later I found it to be tedious and had a hard time identifying with the narrator/main character. Rounding up to 3 to average out the two readings.
