Event Details

Join us on Wednesday, January 25th from 6:30-7:30 pm to welcome Bay Area local Lee Kravetz, author of the celebrated novel The Last Confessions of Sylvia P.

A seductive literary mystery and multigenerational story inspired by true events, The Last Confessions of Sylvia P. imaginatively brings into focus the period of promise and tragedy that marked the writing of Sylvia Plath and the creation of her classic semi-autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar. 

As Christina Clancy, author of Shoulder Season, writes, “Lee Kravetz’s characters skirt the edges of Sylvia Plath’s enigmatic legacy, provoking questions about passion, jealousy, gender, motherhood, domesticity, sanity and rivalry. Is it possible to be truly known? How come Plath is still so relevant? Must genius come with a high cost?”

In addition to The Last Confessions of Syliva P., Lee Kravetz is the author of acclaimed nonfiction, Strange Contagion and SuperSurvivors. He has written for print and television, including The New York Times, New York Magazine, Psychology Today, The Daily Beast, The San Francisco Chronicle, and PBS.  He lives in Berkeley with his wife and two children.
