Plath

Her favorite activity when she was a teen was to sit by her bedroom window while listening to Simon & Garfunkel and reading Sylvia Plath.

I scanned the stacks of books teetering against one wall, not on shelves but layered like bricks, and a slim off-white spine called to me: Sylvia Plath’s "Ariel."

Instead, she suggested they should read Sylvia Plath, Simone de Beauvoir or Charlotte Bronte.

Something lighthearted and funny that will include Sylvia Plath and Louise Bourgeois.

It made me think of Sylvia Plath, who was accused of antisemitism for appropriating Jewish identity and the Holocaust in her poem, “Daddy.”
