“to the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is the bad dream.”

this book is just as good as it was when i first read it in high school, and the slow burn of the book makes you go slowly go “crazy” just as esther does. also she’s so me, i too would want to kms if i thought i would never write again! sylvia plath you will always be famous…
