So what?
Stupid dumb whiny piece of shit that confirms women don't know shit about depression

She knew enough to stick her head in the oven.

Amazing.
>>7893535
yeah because doing something like that is totally characteristic of depression, and not, say, being a drama queen.
>hurr durr I'm depressed
>dear diary take my pain away. when

>oh well then better put my head in the oven

you're a sad little man
I always read the title like this, and this it's about the filmmaker.

you're a sad little man-let English major who romanticizes famous writers' biographies, and therefore refuses to see just what abusive, entitled douches some of them have been in their personal life.
ah, the road to academia is paved with good intentions

is this b8? drama queens don't kill themselves. that's what makes them drama queens.
Is the book becoming meme-mified?

It's like the girl version of Catcher in the Rye.
idk whatever Woody Allen said about it.
It was decent. Slightly above average.
It was extremely mediocre. Would've been better if she included the suicide, maybe.
mfw when plebs rage against well-regarded literature because they know they're plebs and not as well-regarded

no, in general, drama queens don't kill themselves. But a published drama queen poet that's married to an even more famous poet? That shit seems pretty likely to immortalize her dramaqueenism.
Even worse - pic related. She might not even have planned on dying. (yes I can see that her close friends have defended her, yadda yadda. We'll never know for sure, but Sylvia still remains famous, basically for being a drama queen.)

What are your qualifications on the matter? Also it's not a fucking thesis on depression as a medical condition now, is it? She doesn't need to "know shit about depression", she needs to know her personal condition. Also by knowing shit about depression I assume you mean your specific suffering. And since you exclude all women I assume your depression is based on the fact that you can't get laid or wear frilly dresses?

Please leave the discussion up to functioning human beings. /r9k/ exists so we don't have to talk to you.
It's basic bitch literature appropriated by the artsy "depressed" tumblr crowd. Every girl I ever fucked would list this as one of their favorites, and it shows because just like them this book is disposable.
