Am re-reading Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar. I heard it's a thing on college campuses among Millennials right now. Plath is very sharp, sharper than I remember and (perhaps?) an early feminist writer and thus interesting historically.

pickFerrante is as always brilliant and far-seeing in The Lost Daughter. Her use of language is exquisite. Her story crafting is filled with unexpected twists and reversals. This is a novel primarily dealing with the complexity of motherhood. To a certain degree, males such as myself, can only stand in the doorway and watch and possibly learn.
Check that. Ferrante takes a twist or two, becomes much darker than Cusk. First person sociopath?
Reading Elsa Ferrante's The Lost Daughter. So far reminds me of Rachel Cusk: first person female writer on vaca speculating on strangers she meets...
