Join our new Classics Book Club!We will be discussing Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar".See the Adult Reference Desk to check out a copy now or for more info. Here's a little bit about the book: Esther Greenwood is brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful, but slowly going under-maybe for the last time. In her acclaimed and enduring masterwork, Sylvia Plath brilliantly draws the reader into Esther's breakdown with such intensity that her insanity becomes palpably real, even rational-as accessible an experience as going to the movies. A deep penetration into the darkest and most harrowing corners of the human psyche, The Bell Jar is an extraordinary accomplishment and a haunting American classic.Be sure to bring your library card to the meeting so you can check out April's pick!
