But the Girl by Jessica Zhan Mei Yu

4.0

The life of the author has often been framed as an idyll: brooding academia, intellectual prestige, craftsmanship forged through grandiose pain. Authors who seek to elude the general public’s fascination with their lives seem to draw more intrigue than their work. Jessica Zhan Mei Yu’s debut But The Girl delves into this, through the perspective of a nameless young Malaysian Australian writer who is increasingly troubled by her lifelong love for Sylvia Plath.
