She's great, but shit on here because she killed herself/ is a woman.

>>9656659
Honestly Ariel is the only book that gave me a feeling of horror. She was really brilliant. Also a baking fanatic.

To fill. Remember where I am. Two step backwards. If it were only easy as some dance moves. Repeated as if it were a necessity.

>she gassed herself in an oven to continue her literary associating of herself with Jews in the holocaust
I'm not joking.

>>9656703
Yeah you'll like it she writes a poem about people being turned into lampshades >>9656755
Not even. It was a way of consuming herself in the role of housewife/mother. She used to bake maniacally when anxious. She dressed the kids up before she did it. The really radical or unsettling thing about her work is her rejection of what is supposed to be the most important and revered thing "motherhood" (if anything she was mocking the Jewish matriarchy )

Perhaps the oven served as a nexus in which her two literary trends - her holocaust analogy and her rejection of the traditional maternal role - were linked and culminated. I need to reread her work eventually, but I find the multi-layered symbology behind her suicide fascinating albeit obviously tragic. I have never heard of a more poetically fulfilling suicide.
