A Posthumous Confession (New York Review Books Classics)
“Since the time of Rousseau we have seen the growth of the genre of the confessional novel, of whichA Posthumous Confessionis a singularly pure example. Termer [the narrator], claiming to to be unable to keep his dreadful secret, records his confession and leaves it behind as a monument to himself, thereby turning a worthless life into art.” -J. M.
