Download or read book From a Darkened Room written by Arthur Crew Inman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diary became a many-layered and strikingly animated work of a gifted writer, by turns charming, repellent, shocking, cruel, and comical. But the diary is also an uninhibited history of his times, of his eccentricities and fantasies, of his bizarre marriage arrangements and sexual adventures. Inman's explorations of his own troubled nature made him excessively curious about the secret lives of others.
