Shaun Usher Diaries of Note

Diaries of Note, curated by Shaun Usher, is an engrossing collection of 366 diary entries from the famous, infamous and everyday people alike. Spanning history, these intimate writings reveal unvarnished truths, hopes, desires and fears, from world leaders and artists like Albert Einstein, Virginia Woolf and Maya Angelou to ordinary individuals whose words prove extraordinary. Beautifully illustrated, the book celebrates the power of personal narratives and the insight diaries offer into the human experience.
