The Diarist

"The Diarist" is the strange but true saga of the eccentric Boston diarist, Arthur Crew Inman (1895-1963). The 155 volume, 17,000,000-word Inman diary is a chilling account of one of the most obsessive humans ever to put pen to paper. Arthur Inman spent 60 years of his life, from the age of 8, writing what is acknowledged as one of the longest and most fascinating diaries ever conceived. His is the story of the original blogger, a man obsessed with "connectivity" decades before that word was even conceived.
