I'd love to know if any hints of Hughes's bisexuality made it into the letters Plath's mother destroyed.
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ple, I'm not turning up a reference to Hughes' sexuality online. Was it in his letters or a bio?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Apparently there are a few Buffy references in Martin Millar's Suzy, Led Zeppelin, and Me. TCG is reading it right now, and he keeps mentioning them to me.
