The Last Confessions of Sylvia P.with author Lee Kravetz in conversation with Erin Byrne.webm

The Last Confessions of Sylvia P. imaginatively brings into focus the period of promise and tragedy that marked the writing of Sylvia Plath’s modern classic The Bell Jar. Bridging fact and fiction, this novel imagines the life of a revered writer. Suspenseful and beautifully written with a remarkable prismatic approach, Kravetz’s masterful novel is a highly seductive work of literary fiction. Erin Byrne’s conversation with Lee will explore the possibility that The Bell Jar was more than a novel of a young poet struggling with mental illness, but the key to unlocking the origins of a radical literary revolution. We will highlight the ways in which our mental state impacts the creative process, Lee’s blending of genres, and ways we can all weave together our own fascinations to create powerful works. Lee Kravetz is the author the novel The Last Confessions of Sylvia P. and the international bestsellers Strange Contagion (about the science of contagious thoughts, feelings and emotions) and SuperSurvivors: The Surprising Link Between Suffering & Success (a look at how people bounce forward after experiencing life-changing trauma.) He holds a B.A. in journalism from the University of Mi
