    People shouldn't buy the book expecially because Kurt says himself in it that he never wanted any of his diaries to be published. It's really that simple.

    On top of that come issues of voyeurism and commercialist intrusion.

The release of a dead mans journal when he said he didnt want any of them published is slightly different. The diary references do add to to Heavier than Heaven though!

    The diaries of Marcus Aurielius were private as well, certainly never intended for anyone other than the emperor to see, never mind be published. They're also one of the greatest sources on Rome available. The man's dead. What he did is of historical interest, not to a great extent, but it's there nonetheless.
