This is a thoroughly enjoyable read. Diaries promise indiscretions, and the joy of gossip... Is it right to invoke Pepys or Evelyn? When Personal Terms have concluded they will prove to be Raphael's lasting work, so perhaps it is. -- Wynn Wheldon, Spectator There are entries in this fifth volume of Raphael's notebooks that would sound profound in any grove of academe, some one-liners that would now be perfectly fit for Twitter, some that are permissibly snarky comments on colleagues and rivals, and some that smartly pocket the small coin of everyday living. And that's only to pitch the first few pages to you ... read on at random for the full variety and vitality of Raphael's genius for recording the primary sources of a rich writing life. --Times on Ifs and Buts
