A fresh translation of the second volume of Max Frisch’s diaries.
By the time Swiss author Max Frisch published the second volume of
his diaries or sketchbooks, he had achieved international
recognition as a writer and dramatist. In this volume, he develops
his version of the literary diary as a mosaic of musings on
architecture and writing, travelogue, autobiography, and political
insight. He considers Cold War tensions as well as the civil rights
and anti–Vietnam War movements in the United States. Now
middle-aged himself, he looks squarely at men’s evolving attitude
to life, love, sex, women, and status. And for all the idyllic
descriptions of his new home in Berzona, Frisch becomes
increasingly critical of his native Switzerland, in particular the
crackdowns on left-wingers and protestors, and receives abuse for
his stance. Based on the second German edition that reinstated
material that had been removed from the original 1972 version, this
fresh and definitive translation brings an important
mid-twentieth-century European classic back to life. Â
