Las agujas dementes

The Mad Needles shows us the relationship between Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, Assia and David Wevill, discovering not only the brilliance of two women who tragically ended their lives, but also revealing the love, sadness and poetry that overwhelms the characters. . In this work, the genius shown by its protagonists, through the sharpness of their dialogues, is not enough to withstand the unbalanced violence that begins to take hold of them. Jorge Volpi undresses the events that led to one of the most sinister endings in the history of universal literature. Violent behavior, delirium of love and suicide are some of the themes that we find in this work where the lives of the characters intersect like needles that stitch until the same tragedy is embroidered.
