There is an interview with Kenneth when someone asked him if the diaries
would be published and he replies "oh, not while I'm alive". Which
implies the possibility of them appearing after hs death. I rather
suspect he would have liked the idea but I guess we can't know for sure.

I think we would have missed out on a great deal if they hadn't been
published. I'll be interested to hear Nicholas on this, but if it's just
that there were some cruel comments included (undoubtedly there are), I
think he's ignoring how much we learn about Kenneth and his life.
Perhaps he knew all these things but the rest of us do learn a lot.
