About This Book
DIARY takes the form of a "coma diary" kept by one Misty Tracy Wilmot as her
husband, Peter, lies senseless in a hospital after a suicide attempt. Once Misty
was an art student dreaming of creativity and freedom; now, after her marriage
and return to once quaint, now tourist-overrun Waytansea Island, she is just a
resort hotel maid. Peter, it turns out, has been scrawling vile messages all
over the walls of hidden rooms in houses he has been remodeling?an old habit of
builders but dramatically overdone in Peter's case. Angry homeowners are suing
left and right, and Misty's dreams of artistic greatness are reduced to ashes.
But then, as if possessed by the spirit of Maura Kinkaid, a fabled Waytansea
artist of the nineteenth century, Misty begins painting again, compulsively. The
canvases are taken away by her mother-in-law and her doctor, who seem to have a
plan for Misty?and for all those annoying tourists. . . .
DIARY is a dark, hilarious, and poignant act of storytelling from America's
favorite, most inventive nihilist. It is Chuck Palahniuk's finest novel yet.
