The best diaries?

Name: Anonymous 2006-01-07 17:48

Without knowledge of it, I have found myself reading diary after fictional diary. While they may not have dates and be in the explicit format of diaries, I like Camus' works, Nausea by Sartre. There's also Goethe's The Sorrows of Werther which was fucking awesome. Why didn't he write more prose?

What I'm saying is that it doesn't have to be fucking Go Ask Alice, but casual and personal descriptions of encounter and survival and the such. Explicit diaries tend to be far too forced and strictly thematic, while glazing over the truest details and thoughts.

Thank you so much. I just finished Keep the Aspidistra Flying and love him more than ever. I assumed this was some sort of Rome-era play and passed it over.

Thanks again.

Douglas Coupland's "Hey Nostradamus!" was really great as well. Fictional diary with 4 different protagonists (hence 4 parts in the novel).
