The only reason I am not rating this brilliant piece of writing five stars, is because I was taken aback by the use of racial slurs.
I know it dates back to the 60’s but it was very triggering to read as a black woman, and I cannot look past it.
However, I had never read something quite like The Bell Jar and I am still very shaken by it. I think I will either go back to it a lot, or never read it again. That’s how moving and shocking and brilliant it was.
