About: This essay by Frances Lindemann is about the interpretation of  Sylvia Plath's writing and about writer biographies. 

From the AD, "This essay is about the reduction that happens when we interpret an author's work as purely biographical, and how this relates to readers sort of seeing themselves in literature. Particularly in the case of Plath, which seems to attract a lot of the sort of criticism that reads her writing in that way."
