Salon (Slovakia) reports on a recent article by Polish author Jerzy Pilch (His Current Woman, etc.), offering "five warnings to would-be diarists", in Visegrad Mirror: The Poles Are Always Prepared !.
(The Pilch piece originally appeared in Tygodnik Powszechny, but I can't find it online.)
The: "inspiration for his Five Cardinal Sins of a Diary Writer came from Günter Grass's Tagebuch 1990 (1990 Diary)" -- which is coming out in November from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, as From Germany to Germany: Diary 1990; see their publicity page, or pre-order your copy from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk (I have a copy, and hope to get to it before publication day).
