Diary 1966–1971

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Max Frisch (1967)

Diary 1966–1971 is the title of a literary diary by the Swiss writer Max Frisch . The idea for a second published diary after the diary 1946–1949 matured in Frisch after he moved from Rome to Berzona in 1965. From 1968, after finishing work on the play Biography: A Game , Frisch's main work was the diary. It was published by Suhrkamp Verlag in spring 1972 . For the new edition in the complete works in 1976, Frisch expanded the diary with some previously omitted texts.

The diary 1966–1971 is often viewed as a transition to Frisch's late work. A key phrase is Montaigne's quotation, repeated several times : “This is how I dissolve and get lost.” The focus is on dealing with aging , dying and death . There is a general mood of resignation, which, like the style of montage and the formal reduction, remains decisive for the following works. As in the 1946–1949 diary, numerous motifs and materials from Frisch's main works can be found in the 1966–1971 diary , too, references to the later works of Montauk , Man Appears in the Holocene and Triptych .
