Great Gide

I've read the White Notebook, but have not been able to get hold of the Black notebook as of yet. Even so, I'd definitely make the recomendation! Gide published the White Notebook at age 20, and never looked back on it with displeasure, though some of his views either changed slightly, or developed further with time. It's an insightful work - both into human nature, in general, and the author, in particular. Also, Baskin's footnotes and introduction are enormously helpful. A delight to the Gidean scholar.
