  The second volume of diaries, published to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Cocteau's death, covers the year 1953 and unveils Cocteau's flagrant and destructuve addiction to opium and his dazzling artistic exploits in the all-male brothels of Touilon. Always renowned for his flamboyant public image, this book reveals the other very human side of his nature and includes insights into the lives of Picasso, Chaplin, Matisse, Stravinsky, Disney, Sartre, Coco Chanel and Genet.
