This two-volume abridgement of the original 155-volume diary is a case history of an inveterately bigoted, deeply troubled man, the story of a transplanted, self-conscious Southerner obsessed with his ancestors, family, and friends, which in its entirety, is a unique social history of America.

The Inman Diary: A Public and Private Confession (Vols 1-2) (ISBN: 0674454456 / 0-674-45445-6) Inman, Arthur Crew Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Harvard University Press, 1985. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket (as issued). 9.8 x 6.1 x 3.5. Crisp Firm Clean copy ! In slipcase with jacket-band. 1661 pages. Between 1919 and his death by suicide in 1963, Arthur Crew Inman wrote what is surely one of the fullest diaries ever kept by any American. This abridgment of the original 155 volumes is at once autobiography, social chronicle, and an apologia addressed to unborn readers. Into this fascinating record Inman poured memories of a privileged Atlanta childhood, disastrous prep-school years, a nervous collapse in college followed by a bizarre life of self-diagnosed invalidism. Confined to a darkened room in his Boston apartment, he lived vicariously: through newspaper advertisements he hired "talkers" to tell him the stories of their lives, and he wove their strange histories into the diary. Young women in particular fascinated him. He studied their moods, bought them clothes, fondled them, and counseled them on their love affairs. While reflecting on national politics, waifs and revolutions, Inman speaks directly about his fears, compulsions, fantasies, and nightmares, coaxing the reader into intimacy with him. This compelling work is many things: a case history of a deeply troubled man; the story of a transplanted and self-conscious southerner; a historical overview of Boston illuminated with striking cityscapes; an odd sort of American social history.
