Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
Diary takes the form of a 'coma diary' kept by one Misty Tracy Wilmot as her husband lies senseless in hospital after a suicide attempt. Once she was an art student dreaming of creativity and freedom; now, after marrying Peter at art school and being brought back to once quaint, now tourist-overrun Waytansea Island, she's been reduced to the condition of a resort hotel maid. Peter, it turns out, has been hiding rooms in houses he's refurbished and scrawling vile messages all over the walls - an old habit of builders but gone nuts on his part. Angry homeowners are suing left and right, and Misty's dreams of artistic greatness are in ashes. But then, as if possessed by the spirit of Maura Kinkaid, a fabled Waytansea artist of the nineteenth century, Misty begins painting again, compulsively. The canvases are taken away by her mother-in-law and her doctor, who seem to have a plan for Misty - and for all those annoying tourists.

"Dette er styrken til litteraturen. Litteraturen er fri, den er ikke låst til en sjanger på samme måte som filmer, musikk eller spill. For den er inni deg og historien blir din. Den tvinger deg til å lage dine egne bilder. Det blir personlig så fryktelig fort. Du har sluppet det inn. Det er ditt. De krappe svingene som film ikke makter. Temposkiftene som ødelegger en perfekt poplåt. Kunstverket som mister styrken sin i en flermedial utførelse. Musikkvideoene du sier går fort fort. Vel, litteraturen går fortere. Litteraturen er faster, harder, better, stronger. Fordi det er sånn hjernen vår er. Den er ikke lineær. Den er ikke i en modus. Den skifter. Frykt, kjærlighet og hat og tilbake igjen."
