Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. New York . . . I HATE IT. . . I LOVE IT. . . I DONT KNOW. . . These are the reflections of Max Frisch (191191) writing from his apartment in the Big Apple near the end of the twentieth century. Beginning in 1946 and continuing until his death at the age of eighty, the man whom many see as Switzerlands greatest writer kept a series of sketchbooks to record his reactions to events of the time and people he encountered in his daily life. Neither a commonplace book nor a diary, these volumes contain the seeds for many of Frischs most famous worksincluding Homo Faber, Im Not Stiller, and Man in the Holoceneas well as his cynical meditations, fictions, incidents, conversations, meetings, newspaper headlines and dark fantasiesanything, in short, that the author found significant. Drafts for a Third Sketchbook treats the reader to an even more personal document. Unpublished at the time of Frischs death, this collection was edited by Peter von Matt, president of the Max Frisch Foundation, with an eye toward expanding our knowledge of this legendary writers last days. Ranging from a couple of sentences to several pages, the sketches collected in this volume recall the United States of the Reagan years and the authors own growing sense of age as both the threat of nuclear war and some of his most treasured friendships pass on. Representing an unusually personal vista onto the world as Frisch knew it, this is a wonderful self-portrait of an extraordinary intelligence. New York. I HATE IT. I LOVE IT. I DON'T KNOW.". These are the reflections of Max Frisch, writing from his apartment in the Big Apple near the end of the twentieth century. He kept a series of sketchbooks to record his reactions to events of the time and people he encountered in his daily life. This title presents these sketches.
