"I am of course, as I said, afraid to try writing on my own, because of the huge possibilities of failure."

I just finished the section at Smith college, before Plath disappears and attempts suicide. She was so hard on herself. The higher she climbed, the more pressure she put on herself to create and to achieve. At times she calls herself a tigress, and I believe she was, a tigress gnawing, attacking herself.

I am sick, in bed, reading and thinking about Sylvia Plath, because that is what one does in October.

I am struck by the originality of Plath’s mind. I wish we had her others works, I wish we had another novel, more poetry. I wish she had never met Ted Hughes and I wish she had lived.
