Sinossi
Brillante studentessa di provincia vincitrice del soggiorno offerto da una rivista di moda, a New York Esther si sente «come un cavallo da corsa in un mondo senza piste». Intorno a lei, l'America spietata, borghese e maccartista degli anni Cinquanta: una vera e propria campana di vetro che nel proteggerla le toglie a poco a poco l'aria. L'alternativa sarà abbandonarsi al fascino soave della morte o lasciarsi invadere la mente dalle onde azzurre dell'elettroshock. Fortemente autobiografico, La campana di vetro narra con agghiacciante semplicità le insipienze, le crudeltà incoscienti, gli assurdi tabù che spezzano un'adolescenza presa nell'ingranaggio stritolante della normalità che ignora la poesia. Include sei poesie da "Ariel".

This is, by far, the most disappointed I’ve ever been when it came to a book. Not just with the book itself, but with how many people decided to ignore the racism taking place in it. I’ve had this novel praised to me so many times that I idolized it for years before I even bought it. I was so scared t Leggi tutto
there once was a girl from the bay state who tried to read finnegan's wake . it made her so ill, she took loads of pills. james joyce has that knack to frustrate. come to my blog!
“To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream.” It had been a number of years since I last read Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar . What I’d remembered most was how well Plath had established the mood for this story by weaving the electrocutions of Julius Leggi tutto
I hated almost everything about this book. There are 2 good quotes but so much racism, fatphobia and I apparently DNFed it before the homophobia started. I don't get the hype at all. It made it to my worst books of 2024: https://youtu.be/8-WrZCY8qfo?si=GOv_n...
