"My American Diary" by Clare Sheridan is a personal diary written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the author's experiences and observations during her travels in America in 1921, primarily reflecting her encounters with various notable personalities, events, and the cultural milieu of the time. Through her narrative, Sheridan provides insights into American society from her unique perspective as an artist and a traveler. The opening of the diary finds Sheridan in New York City, where she expresses a sense of disconnection from her identity amidst the whirlwind of attention and interviews following her return from Russia. Feeling overwhelmed by reporters and public interest, she shares amusing but poignant observations about her interactions with different social circles, from high society luncheons to radical gatherings. Her reflections capture the duality of her experiences in America—appreciating the vibrancy of life while contending with the complexities of her newfound celebrity status. As her journey unfolds, she begins to navigate her role in a foreign culture while still grappling with her artistic identity and familial responsibilities.
