"Gladysz provides an authoritative
series of essays that tell us about the author, the notoriety of her
work (which was first published in 1905), and its translation to the
screen. Production stills, advertisements, and other ephemera
illustrate these introductory chapters. In today’s parlance this would
be called a 'movie tie-in edition,' but that seems a rather glib way
to describe yet another privately published work that reveals an
enormous amount of research — and passion."
-- Leonard Maltin
"Read today, it's a fascinating
time-trip back to another age, and yet remains compelling. As a bonus,
Gladysz richly illustrates the text with stills of Brooks from the
famous film." -- Jack Garner, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
"Thomas Gladysz is the leading
authority on all matters pertaining to the legendary Louise Brooks. We
owe him a debt of gratitude for bringing the groundbreaking novel, The Diary of a Lost Girl - the basis of Miss Brooks's classic 1929 film - back from obscurity. It remains a fascinating work." -- Lon Davis, author of Silent Lives
"Long relegated to the shadows, Margarete Böhme's 1905 novel, The Diary of a Lost Girl
has at last made a triumphant return. In reissuing the rare 1907
English translation of Böhme's German text, Thomas Gladysz makes an
important contribution to film history, literature, and, in as much as
Böhme told her tale with much detail and background contemporary to the
day, sociology and history. He gives us the original novel, his
informative introduction, and many beautiful and rare illustrations.
This reissue is long overdue, and in all ways it is a volume of uncommon
merit."
-- Richard Buller, author of A Beautiful Fairy Tale: The Life of Actress Lois Moran
"Most certainly a book for all
you Louise Brooks fans out there!! And silent cinema fans in general as
well." -- Bristol Silents (UK) newsletter
