To my dismay, one of the first day of classes at the University professor warned us that " Writers knowing that her diary will be found and published after his death, Bear that in mind. "
"Now it is certain that I would not for a writer, if only she was worried about what would be the best hiding place for my books, I thought. But I remembered those words many times, for example, by opening the diary of Cesare Pavese . In the prologue of Italo Calvino and Natalia Ginzburg is the same Warning:
"His friends had long known the existence of the log-Pavese, and some of them had expressed the wish that were printed after his death. "
The writer who builds a Journal becomes its own character, novel himself and shamelessly also like to offer this life that grazed with the magic wand literature is no longer "life" to dry. Pavese also wondered to himself, as I did in adolescence: "Do you have something to say?", hence the brief reply that gives us the April 25, 1936, in one line:
" Today, nothing "
And hence, I suppose, that statement, and calm, with which the Italian writer wanted to melt, tragically, literature and life through the last words of his diary, so well known, shortly before committing suicide at the Hotel Roma in Turin on 27 August 1950:
" This disgusting. / No words. A gesture. not write more. "
