Also by Plath, worth reading--short stories, under the title (something like) "Johnny Panic" (?)
Parker is great to pick up and read a bit of every once in a while. Sometimes what hits me is the acerbic wit, while at other times it is the despair and darkness, but not at all melodramatic--still sharp and biting in her suicidal poetry. An angry gal maybe?
A few years ago I rented a movie about Parker and her pals who hung out at the Algonquin hotel. Forget the exact title....
