I've been missing Proust in the morning, so decided to return to Woolf. I read the first two volumes of her diary a few years ago, so starting with Volume 3. There was immediate comfort to be back in her prose.
pickReally difficult to rate this as it is not a memoir nor is it diaries that were written with the obvious intention of publication instead this is an almost daily update about the mundane details of that day. Entries are mainly along the lines of filming x, dinner with x, bought a toaster etc.
These diaries do build up an overview of Rickman‘s daily life but there is nothing personal or in-depth.
Not sure this would work as a book but audio ok.
pickA good book overall. It‘s very strange listening to (reading) someone‘s diaries, their innermost thoughts. He writes about everyday life, movies, plays, travel, etc., writing about people he‘s worked with, most interestingly Sense and Sensibility and the Harry Potter movies. We get to hear his voice at the end during an interview regarding the Royal Court. Of course I cried at the end. 😢
“Rickman‘s ability to breathe life into projects wasn't confined to just his performances. As you'll find, Rickman's diaries detail the extraordinary and the ordinary, flitting between worldly and witty and gossipy, while remaining utterly candid throughout. He takes us inside his home, on trips with friends across the globe, and on the sets of films and plays ranging from Sense and Sensibility, to Noël Coward's Private Lives.”
