During a 1960 interview, East German writer Christa Wolf was asked
a curious question: would she describe in detail what she did on
September 27th? Fascinated by considering the significance of a
single day over many years, Wolf began keeping a detailed diary of
September 27th, a practice which she carried on for more than fifty
years until her death in 2011. The first volume of these notes
covered 1960 through 2000 was published to great acclaim more than
a decade ago. Now translator Katy Derbyshire is bringing the
September 27th collection up to date with One Day a Year a
collection of Wolf's notes from the last decade of her life. The
book is both a personal record and a unique document of our times.
With her characteristic precision and transparency, Wolf examines
the interplay of the private, subjective, and major contemporary
historical events. She writes about Germany after 9/11, about her
work on her last great book City of Angels, and also about her
exhausting confrontation with old age. One Day a Year is a
compelling and personal glimpse into the life of one of the world's
greatest writers.
