Every day from nine to five I sit at my desk facing the door of the
office and type up other people's dreams. An office assistant in a
hospital pursues a secret vocation. A girl endures a series of
initiation ceremonies to join her high school sorority. A married
woman seeks relief from the dull realities of daily life. From her
mid-teens Sylvia Plath wrote stories, twenty-four of which are
collected here, along with works of journalism and extracts from
her journal. 'All the pieces presented here are revealing . . . It
ought to round out one's knowledge of the writer, and, perhaps,
offer some surprises. Luckily it does both.' Margaret Atwood, New
York Times 'A beautiful, delicate, commanding poet.' Lena Dunham
'She embodied a seismic shift in consciousness which enabled us to
feel and think as we do today, and of which she was a supremely
vulnerable and willing casualty. She changed our world.' Margaret
Drabble, Guardian
