Isolated islands: selections from the writers' letters and diaries, authored by: a group of authors

There are hidden links that connect these individual experiences. Let's say invisible bridges connect these islands. The first link is the attempt of their owners to document their early experiences of alienation in the way we see in Herman Hesse's diaries and William Faulkner's letters to his mother and F. Naipol's letters to his father, and the second link is digging into the accumulations of memory in the way we see in Eugene Yunesco's memoirs and Bulgakov's diaries and what Umberto Eco wrote about his experience with the classroom teacher or the Salizi priest, and the last link is connecting thought and literature with life as in the chapters of Dávila's fragments and Montaigne's essays, as well as the opinions of Hemingway, Robert Muzzle, Julian Grach, and Naipol on literary writing.
