The real value of this collection is the opportunity it affords us to see the domestic, ordinary, everyday world through Garner’s eyes ... Keen observances.
It gets off to a tentative and makeshift start ... By a quarter of the way in, I was utterly in her hands ... Garner has an ideal voice to express late-night pangs of precariousness and distress, some more comic than others. Her prose is clear, honest and economical.
Offering intoxicating insight into the creative mind, Garner’s diaries will tantalize the voyeur and inspire fellow visionaries who embrace such journeys of discovery.
