Summary, etc. Diary of a Body is written as the private diary of an unnamed man who records the story of his life through the experiences of his body rather than his emotions alone. Beginning at age twelve after a humiliating childhood incident, he documents fear, puberty, illness, love, sexuality, war, aging, and eventual physical decline. The novel follows him from 1936 until his death in 2010, showing how the body changes through every stage of life. Pennac uses humor, honesty, and detailed physical observations to explore identity, mortality, and what it means to be human.
