Cover 1932 Diary
Another very rich and substantial diary. Powell begins the year in Hollywood then flees back first to Ohio and then to New York. Very little of this has ever been printed. Publication of “Come to Sorrento,” which the publishers insist upon calling “The Tenth Moon.”
1932 Diary excerpt A P01 32
Here is Powell’s uncut entry for August 15, 1932. Much of it had to be edited out to fit the diaries in one published volume in 1995.

This is a continuation of the entry begun on August 15, 1932.
1932 Diary excerpt C P01 34
