I’ve finally started my own, and hopefully Carrie Coon can do the audiobook when I’m done with the first volume. Excerpts that particularly struck me: “Sometimes I truly hate this business,” “A trip to the dry cleaners is good for the brain,” and “Why is the actuality of one’s work so far from its intention?” Rickman made me realize a diary entry can be rhythmic and flip instead of emotional and in-depth. at the Box in New York, or mistaking Jane Campion for Meryl Streep. I found the actor’s vicissitudes here very interesting - whether he’s getting stiffed with the bill by his fancy friends at the Ivy, hanging out until 4 a.m. But they’re pretty fascinating as a listen, even if it’s not always clear what or who the very opinionated Rickman is talking about. This audio would, obviously, be so much better if Rickman had read his diaries himself. Rickman, known for his roles as Hans Gruber in Die Hard and Snape in the Harry Potter flicks, died in 2016, at 69, of pancreatic cancer.
