Synopsis:
inspired by the gargantuan diary of that highly eccentric son-of-the-South, Arthur Crew Inman (1895-1963). Atlanta-born and Boston-bred, Inman created the longest diary ever written by an American, a sprawling memory piece of over 17 million words poured into 155 handwritten volumes. One of the great literary curiosities of our age, this tightly-wound epic of the mind covers the entire 68 years of Inman's life and a good deal of human history in between.
