 Pain, Parties, Work - Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953  by  Elizabeth Winder. I remember when being a Mademoiselle Guest Editor was absolutely the top thing you could do, as a college girl. I also remember when The Bell Jar came out. To think Mlle isn't even around anymore. Anyway, everybody should read this, as a window into a forgotten world. (The portrayals of people she knew that were supposedly so vicious in TBJ were amalgams and largely fictional - Fiction, remember? - plus the tone was supposed to convey her alienation and numbness due to her mental state).
