Because I'm already in the tank for AB, I don't really have to relate that this latest entry is more of the same excellence. Though I haven't ready MANY English diarists, I 'm going to put him in the mix with Pepys and Agate. The related essays, addresses, sermons, film diaries, and appreciations have only slightly less appeal. I began some years back with "The Clothes They Stood Up In", in a quirky little hardback edition, then moved to other writings and film. Recommended, though not as a starter volume.
