A Last Diary (1921)

A Last Diary is a book written by W. N. P. Barbellion and published in 1921. It is a collection of diary entries written by the author during the last few months of his life.

The diary entries are both poignant and humorous, and provide a unique glimpse into the mind of a young man facing his own mortality.
