Little Fugue | 
so-soPerhaps the audience for this book is younger and more susceptible to the “suicide is so poetic” appeal of Plath; or maybe enough older than me to have been in the first generation “inspired” by Plath‘s death. But I found it pretentious and more about the author‘s alter-ego (whom he named for himself although making him much older) than about Plath or Hughes. It smacked of the same kind of feelings as the “I wish I had been at Woodstock” trope.
Lcsmcat Written in 2005, I‘m not surprised that there are no other mentions of it on Litsy. Between a pick and a so-so. The early chapters are better than the later ones. 3y
