Lover of Unreason
Yehuda Koren
A biography of Hughes's mistress, Assia Wevill, this book views the Sylvia Plath-Ted Hughes relationship and marriage, and presents the journey that shaped her life. This is a story formed by the pull of fatal attraction and obsessive love, fidelity and adultery, cruelty and tenderness, dependence and rebellion, envy, and self-sacrifice.

Posted by galfreda@abctales.com (1 year ago ) Inexcusably badly edited BUT I found myself enmeshed in the brilliantly communicated atmosphere of dysfunctional relationships and the captivating literary gossip. This is also the subtlest but most scathing 'dissing' of Ted Hughes I've read so far. Overall this is a tragedy which sometimes seems like a warning about the results of ineffectual parenting and 'poetic' narcissism.
