Seller's Description:
VG+ in VG- jacket. An excellent copy, First Edition first printing of one of Malcolm's many great books. 208 pages, cloth, flawless but for faint crease to front free endpaper.

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.
