A translation of the semi-autobiographical text from André Gide, comprising of "The White Notebook" and "The Black Notebook" that together track the creative, psychological, and discursive mediation of the writer's alter-identity: André Walter. The text that desires itself as a split subject demonstrates the poet's dilemma that haunts much of Gide's development as a writer, explicitly performed here in a future split––that of translation––in its first English publication.
