Daily business briefing in which the central figure of that 2016 Pulitzer Prize winner becomes a drug dealer in 1980s Paris. Below, Nguyen recommends other books that interrogate commitment.
I read Plath s novel as a student in an all-boys Jesuit high school and was suitably disturbed by its story of an ambitious young woman who suffers a mental-health crisis and is committed to a psychiatric hospital.
The Bell Jar returned to my thought after I read Heather Clark s new biography of Plath, a compelling reminder of how committed Plath was to her writing. At 1,118 pages, the biography is itself an example of commitment, both on the part of the author who wrote it and for the reader who picks it up. I enjoyed its very detailed examinations of everything from Plath s great poetry to her love life. I hope no one ever writes such a book about me.
