Barbellion, whose real name was Bruce Frederick Cummings, announced his own death at the end of his "Journal of a Disappointed Maan" but he lived several years longer to keep this diary, which is here edited by his brother, with a biographical sketch and critical appreciation. The diary is a record of the heroism of a doomed man. * * * * "We insist that it is as the revelation of a young scientific man that the diaries are chiefly valuable, and that if Barbellion had turned to a predominantly literary career -- as he very probably would have done -- it is precisely his scientific quality which would have given his contribution its chief value." -- Dial "Barbellion's three books of confessions will stand, from a literary standpoint, with the best ever written." -- Nation "This 'Last Diary' was written evidently with definite thoughts of publication. The self-revelation is not obscured on that account; rather it becomes if possible more apparent. But there is a loss in artlessness; there is more concern for 'effect.' The rough edges are smoothed away; there is greater finish, a finer ease and limpidity. Not that any element of insincerity has crept in." -- New Republic "This 'Last Diary' is the work of a tired man, but the flame still shoots up from time to time in the book, as it still shone in his eyes. The book's sincerity is actually painful; it contracts the heart. Here, in good truth, is a human soul to study. It is a book which will make you suffer, and yet it is good to read." -- N. Y. Times
