novelist, and memoirist, has been keeping a daily diary for 25 years. \u003cbr\u003eAt a time when every moment felt overwhelming, I started writing a diary “to recover within today,” but it became an essential part of my daily routine, and I became someone who “finds it harder not to write in a diary.”\u003cbr\u003e For those who consider journaling a noble act, like daily exercise or charity work, the author says:\u003cbr\u003e “For me, writing a diary is not like a tedious homework.\u003cbr\u003e Instead of spending time exercising or doing something that makes money, I just keep a diary.” Anyone who records aspects of their life in some way, anyone who wants to preserve memories through records, will be able to project themselves into the 『Diary of Oblivion』.\u003cbr\u003e What, how, and why we write.\u003cbr\u003e Here is what Sarah Manguso had to say about this:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e #What to write \u003cbr\u003e“Writing a diary is a series of choices, choosing what to leave out and what to forget.” (p. 10)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e #How to use it\u003cbr\u003e “I record factual information faithfully.\u003cbr\u003e “As if information that is more realistic than my memory adds dignity to the writing, as if such information reveals the truth.” (p. 33)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e #Why do we write?\u003cbr\u003e “The reason I keep a diary is because I want to support my existence without any gaps in it.” (p. 19)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAn Alternative to Self-Confessional Writing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book does not cite Sarah Manguso's 800,000-word diary, written over 25 years.\u003cbr\u003e It is a piece about a diary that does not include any personal diary information.\u003cbr\u003e Sarah Manguso says her diary was not written to be read by anyone. \u003cbr\u003eAs the line between private and public records becomes increasingly blurred, the question of disclosure is a topic not only for writers but also for all of us who expose aspects of our lives through social media.\u003cbr\u003e “Sarah Manguso’s writing offers an alternative for writers who write confessionals,” says Leslie Jamison, author of “Practicing Empathy,” who wrote the book’s foreword. “This way of operating the ‘I’ within the text creates a new form of intimacy.\u003cbr\u003e It is not a sympathy born of voyeurism, but a joint exploration.\u003cbr\u003e “Writers and readers explore together the same questions that they inevitably face in the messiness of life,” he says.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Quest for Linear Time\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As time passes, Sarah Manguso becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child.\u003cbr\u003e Childbirth and childcare were monumental events that changed his relationship with his diary and with himself. \u003cbr\u003eAs she lives as a mother, Mangguso sometimes loses memories from not so long ago, and sometimes vividly recalls memories from her early life that she would normally not remember.\u003cbr\u003e This experience “serves as an opportunity to let go of the obsession with memories and records that existed in his life, and further changes and deepens his perception of time.”\u003cbr\u003e “I have never understood so clearly that linear time is a compressed version of real time, all time, the ever-flowing eternity.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTo remember and forget\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Manguso, who had tried to preserve all of his life's memories and select those he wished to forget, finally \"came to understand that forgetting was the price of his constant involvement in life, the influence of some force indifferent to time.\"\u003cbr\u003e This is the point where writing, which started to capture memories, turns into writing to empty memories. \u003cbr\u003e“Maybe someday I’ll find in my diary some moments I’ve forgotten, moments I’ve allowed myself to forget, moments my brain couldn’t help but forget, moments I’ve willingly forgotten and then willingly brought back to life through writing.\u003cbr\u003e Experience is no longer experience.\u003cbr\u003e Experience is writing.\u003cbr\u003e I'm still writing.\u003cbr\u003e And I'm forgetting everything.\" When we accept this fact, the diary becomes both a tool for remembering and a tool for forgetting.\u003cbr\u003e A diary belongs to everyone who has the courage to remember and forget.
