Janet Malcolm's work is an immensely satisfying read about some of the writing and publishing problems encountered by the biographers of Sylvia Plath; partly due to the over -zealous protection of the " facts of her life" by her literary heirs. Always impeccable in its facts, this work of non-fiction still manages to be extremely witty and to read like a novel.
