From a Darkened Room

The Inman Diary

Arthur C. Inman

Edited by Daniel Aaron

    A fascinating document, by turns bizarre and illuminating, poignant and obscene...Delving into Inman's diary is like being able to eavesdrop on a conversation in a priest's confessional or psychotherapist's office...It also presents the social historian with a panorama of the twentieth century viewed from an exotic angle.
       --Michael Vincent Miller, New York Times

    A sometimes trenchant, sometimes caustic account of Inman's times.
       --Washington Times
