About This Item
First printing. Both book and unclipped DJ are in as new condition. DJ is protected in an archival sleeve. Signed and doodled by Masters on the title page. In 2001, 148 tattered and mould-covered notebooks were discovered lying among broken bricks in a skip on a building site in Cambridge. Tens of thousands of pages were filled to the edges with urgent handwriting. They were a small part of an intimate, anonymous diary, starting in 1952 and ending half a century later, a few weeks before the books were thrown out. Over five years, Alexander Masters uncovers the identity and real history of their author, with an astounding final revelation.
