Not sure if I should include this book in my reading challenge as it took like ~15 minutes to read. A compelling story, especially within the context of Plath’s life.

A parable loaded with Plath's signature gutshot stylings. I enjoyed the vagueness and increasing creepiness.

I sat in a bookshop for a large chunk of the afternoon and read this and some Sappho and then gushed with the guy at the register over Little Women, and it was all perfect.

I really liked this little story but I do find short stories frustrating. It felt like an outline of the first couple of chapters of a novel, a novel that could be amazing, a Margaret Atwood type novel. In the end it just made me feel sad because Sylvia Plath can never make this into a novel and can never write any more novels I'll love as much as I did the Bell Jar.

Kort bok om en kvinna som tar en tågresa mot sitt öde och börjar kämpa emot. En allegori för död/självmord och viljan att ångra sitt beslut och slåss för livet.

A small, insubstantial book even by pocket-size standards, but quite interesting as a creepy allegory and a perfectly decent read to keep the reader company in the dentist's waiting room.
