The book he is looking for is likely not by who you're thinking of, given that you are probably thinking of Sylvia Plath and she's been dead since 1963. She is famous for writing The Bell Jar, a semi-autobiographical work. Yes, she wrote crazy depressing stuff, for example:

Quote:
Mad Girl's Love Song

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

--Sylvia Plath
And this should probably be in Entertainment.

Are you referring to the girls name on the internet being Syliva Plath? Like her character's "name"?

Sylvia Plath wrote some very depressing shit. It's no real wonder that she was a suicide.

As for the book, and someone named Sylvia Platt, I have no idea what book you're talking about.
