The Pequod Review:
James Boswell was most famous for his biography of Samuel Johnson, but throughout his life he maintained an extraordinary collection of diaries that were (for his time) unusually intelligent and well-written, and included his unfiltered thoughts on anything that came into his mind. London Journal, 1762-1763 is one of the best of these — an engaging series of entries, written with a candor that in a way prefigured the modern confessional memoir.
