	Diary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diaries run the spectrum from business notations, to listings of weather and daily personal events, through to inner exploration of the psyche, or a place to express one's deepest self.
		The oldest extant diaries come from East Asian cultures, pillowbooks of Japanese court ladies and Asian travel journals being some of the oldest surviving specimens of this genre of writing.
		Acknowleding key figures in the resurgence of diary writing such as Carl Jung, Marion Milner, Ira Progoff and Anaïs Nin, she identified techniques that people use either spontaneously or have employed in their daily writing to explore themselves and their experience of the world.

	Diary (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diary (2003, 260 pages) is a novel that was written by Chuck Palahniuk.
		Diary loosely falls into the modern horror genre of fiction, putting aside violence and shock tactics in favour of psychological scares and dark humour.
		Diary takes the form of a "coma diary" kept by one Misty Marie Wilmot as her husband lies senseless in a hospital after a suicide attempt.

	Course Description Short Version Summer 2003
		Unlike fictional memoirs, which tell a story retrospectively, diary novels (and their close cousin, one-sender epistolary novels) relate events "to the moment" in all their agitation.
		Secondary readings will explore the self-reflective nature of the diary novel and the "code" of repeatable elements that defines this genre, especially mirror scenes with their connotations of narcissistic self-contemplation (reflected in the diary-writing process itself).
		Introduction to diary novel: history, critical and theoretical review of the literature, the generic code, relation to one-sender epistolaries, self-reflectivity, intertextuality, Bildungsroman elements, theories of first-person narration.

	Books : Diary: A Novel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		It seems like Palahniuk is stuck in a lyrical rut that comes out more and more recycled with each novel, and although this was fine through the first five novels (with the exception of Invisible Monsters-which is probably slightly worse than Diary) it really bottoms out here.
		Diary is an incredibly entertaining, yet morbid, novel to read.
		I was pulled in right away and didn't put the novel down until I was finished with it, the way I was when I read Jackson McCrae's "Katzenjammer" with its Palahniuk-like themes and great writing style.

	Edinburgh Student Newspaper : Entertainment : Diary - a novel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Diary is the story of middle-aged art-school dropout Misty Wilmot, whose dreams of becoming a great artist were usurped by a button-down existence amongst a quaint island community when her husband got her pregnant.
		But now the island’s increasingly a hot-bed of neon signs, slogans and demanding, obnoxious tourists, and her husband is comatose in a hospital, his body contracting into itself and his lungs and heart kept going by machines.
		While he can seem an author hampered by his need to produce a twist to salvage the narrative, Diary is a thoroughly enjoyable, eminently readable retread of his themes in a horror vein.

	diary
		The form of the novel is interesting, and very topical for a contemporary Victorian audience, used to reading accounts of 'famous lives' written in the form of lengthy journals and often published by so-called 'vanity presses' (the authors would pay the printers to publish their work).
		The Diary is also a detailed portrait of the Victorian class system and it is here that we may see a slightly more pointed satirical purpose.
		Pooter is (not for the first or last time in the novel) 'humiliated' and matters are made worse when he loses his bow tie when leaning over the edge of the theatre box.

	Diary by Chuck Palahniuk - an infinity plus review
		Earlier Palahniuk novels such as Fight Club and Invisible Monsters certainly had their share of horrific ideas, but they stayed clear of the fantastic.
		In Diary, Misty, an art student, is seduced by a bizarrely unsavoury young man. He tricks her into getting pregnant.
		The idiosyncratic phrasings that seemed to so well capture the bizarre inner lives of his earlier characters have now lost their gleam, pulled out yet again regardless of whether or not they fit the narrator at hand (Palahniuk's novels are always first-person narratives).

		The short diary entries make this book perfect for reading when you just have a few minutes, although you'll find it hard to put down, and may find yourself laughing out loud (a lot).
		The diary chronicles a year in her life where she meets not one, but two men and is forced to choose which one is right for her.

		As her husband languishes in a coma, Misty begins this diary of spooky doings on the resort island of Waytansea that are somehow related to the couple.
		Her artistic talent is a tool in a strange supernatural game played out by the so-called upscale residents of a closeted community called Waytansea Island, who every hundred years or so conspire to rid their town of tourists and restore their old money status, through an evil game of mass murder and recrimination.
		The book is constructed as a diary supposedly written by Misty Marie, but maybe it is really the diary of her predecessor victim from a hundred years ago, while Misty tries to escape this prescribed destiny.

	The Rum Diary: The Long Lost Novel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In The Rum Diary, a work begun in 1959 and never published, Thompson's philosophical concerns are filtered through protagonist Paul Kemp, a roving journalist recently decamped in San Juan, Puerto Rico, for a stint at a nearly insolvent paper run by an ex-communist from Florida.
		Loosely based on Thompson's own experiences as a stringer for American papers in the Caribbean and South America, the novel depicts Kemp as an anarchic spirit fascinated by his own willingness to roam the earth for assignments and move on before his recklessness catches up with him.
		The Rum Diary is a remarkably strong novel for a 22-year-old unknown journalist.

		Although the diary novel is often regarded as a twentieth-century genre due to its particular popularity in this century, the form actually has a long history that originates in the eighteenth century.
		The Diary Novel is the first book to trace that history, concentrating on French, German, and English works with some attention given to Russian and Scandinavian traditions as well.
		The Diary Novel includes sections on the influence of Richardson and the letter journal novel, the publication of the 'journaux intimes', psychological fiction, reliability of the narrator, and the contemporary diary novel.

	Diary: A Novel - Reviewed by Kevin McGowin - Eclectica Magazine v7n3
		As the narrator repeatedly points out, "Every portrait is a self-portrait," and "Everything is a diary," but further, beyond the truisms and clever sound-bytes: "As an artist, you organize your life so you get a chance to [work], a window of time, but that's no guarantee you'll create anything worth all your effort.
		At 41, the age of his protagonist, Diary is the work of a writer fully coming into his maturity and not liking everything he sees, to say the least.
		I also suggested that Chuck write his next novel in the third-person; and his doing so while writing in the form of a DIARY, taking the reader in and out of the first-person consciousness, is the singlemost remarkable technical achievement of this book.

		The first novel that was reviewed and rated (and blogged) was John Berendt's "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil".
		What makes this novel so readable is the way Puzo weaves the intrigue of a world not know to many of us, with a world many of us indeed know and live out each day: the bond of family: a bond that cannot be broken, even by tragic death!
		The "novel" is based on a true story that spawned a huge tourist industry for Savannah, it went "Hollywood" courtesy of a movie that come out after its publication and the careers of John Cusak and Kevin Spacey were definitely placed in the mainstream spotlight!

		It's the purported diary, complete with daily entries of calories consumed, cigarettes smoked, "alcohol units" imbibed and other unsuitable obsessions, of a year in the life of a bright London 30-something who deplores male "fuckwittage" while pining for a steady boyfriend.
		As dogged at making resolutions for self-improvement as she is irrepressibly irreverent, Bridget also would like to have someone to show the folks back home and their friends, who make "tick-tock" noises at her to evoke the motion of the biological clock.
		As a novel, this reads very well, and its satisfying to learn that it will gain renewed attention now that the film version is out.
