Is Sylvia Plath's Bell Jar completely autobiographical?

Question:

Is Sylvia Plath's Bell Jar completely autobiographical?

Are there any other books that are simular to this? I love books where people go insane.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: From what I understand, it is semi-autobiographical - originally published under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas" in 1963.

It isnt quite the same, but Wally Lamb's "She's Come Undone" is a great book.

Also, have you read Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story The Yellow Wallpaper? Amazing read. Pax - C
