Mrs. Dalloway

By Virginia Woolf

Mrs. Dalloway is the portrait of a single day in a woman's life.

The Bell Jar

By Sylvia Plath

The Bell Jar chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful, but slowly going under--maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's breakdown with such intensity that Esther's insanity becomes completely real and even rational, as probable and accessible an experiece as going to the movies. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.

The Seven Storey Mountain

By Thomas Merton

A celebration of Merton's spiritual autobiography is accompanied by an introduction from the editor and a note from Merton's biographer.
