This article provides information on the book "Journals of Jean Cocteau," edited by Wallace Fowlie. This book is the result of a publisher's notion. Cocteau has never published any journals, but that can be remedied. Get a ranking expert on modern French literature to put together the more intimate passages from his more intimate books and journals. Cocteau himself is the perfect exemplar of not French, but French-like international set-culture. He early found the right people and has long stuck close to them. Anyway, the book here is an insubstantial collection of personal exhibitions edited out of six books by Cocteau.
