Diaries, which appear in several works in this book, represent things that are personal or secret. In “Nothing O’Clock,” the contents of the diary are so important that she is driven to go to her old home, now owned by the masked people. The woman in “Feminine Endings” also has a diary, which her stalker reads. By reading it, the busker is able to formulate what type of person she is, as the diary contains the personal aspects of who she is (or so the busker thinks).
