Esta edición de los Diarios completos de Sylvia Plath incrementa en dos tercios el material de los anteriormente publicados en Estados Unidos en 1982 y en España en 1996. Entre los nuevos pasajes, se cuentan dos cuadernos que su viudo y albacea, Ted Hughes, había prohibido hacer públicos hasta 2013. Editados por Karen V. Kukil a partir de los 23 manuscritos custodiados por el Smith College, cubren desde sus años de estudiante universitaria hasta 1962, un año antes de su muerte, incluyen algunos dibujos y poesías, y son en conjunto el documento definitivo sobre la vida y obra de una de las poetas icónicas del siglo XX. Plath, apenas con 18 años, creía, como leemos ya en las primeras páginas, que, al «convertir en escritura una parte de mi vida, mis emociones, mis sentimientos más íntimos, la estoy justificando»; pero esta idea de que escribir la vida es «un trampolín, una técnica» para «organizar de forma provisional mi pequeño y patético caos personal» acaba resultándole sospechosa, un principio «falso y provinciano»... «y eso es lo que me resulta muy difícil de afrontar». Con una lucidez extraordinaria, estos diarios no solo retratan una intimidad personal siempre en conflicto con los valores domésticos sino que son una valiosísima reflexión sobre el arte, el sentido, las satisfacciones y las trampas de escribir.
