"""Fantastic collection of short diary fiction from around the world. The reader discovers the many ingenious ways in which writers, ranging from Henry James to Mpho Phalwane, have used the diary form and the idea of the diary in stories. The editors' introduction to the anthology provides helpful background and context, and each individual selection has its own informative introduction."" --Lorna Martens, Professor of German and Comparative Literature, University of Virginia, USA"
