Title: A hoax...
Product review: Yes, there are some great lines - a master like Hughes probably couldn't help himself. But I have to agree with Katha Pollit: the sum of the whole adds up for me as a podium from which to cast self-serving stone after self-serving stone. My most immediate impression is that Hughes has woven the more infamous threads of Plath's poetry with threads of her journals and biographies to create the cloth of a relationship to "love" and "ephiphany" that is somewhat akin to the emperor's new clothes.
