A remarkably wide-ranging anthology - laid out, day by day, like a diary - The Assassin's Cloak has been universally praised. With entries from Pepys, Boswell, Scott, Woolf and Adrian Mole; Kenneth Williams, Brian Eno, Jean Cocteau, Evelyn Waugh and Alan Clark, there are 365 opportunities to combine diarists of a distinctly different hue - from different ages and walks of life, with wildly different tones and agendas. The result is a studiously eclectic and gloriously serendipitous gathering that can be read selectively or continuously. In the most readable way, The Assassin's Cloak pays tribute to a fascinating genre.
