Max Frisch (1911-1991) was born in Zurich, Switzerland before the First World War and was a soldier in the Second. In the interwar years, he traveled throughout Eastern and Central Europe as a journalist. After serving as a gunner on the Austrian and Italian borders, he followed in his father's footsteps and became an architect. These experiences helped forge the moral consciousness and the concern for human freedom that mark his writing. The author of I'm Not Stiller, Homo Faber, and The Man in the Holocene, and the winner of the Jerusalem Prize, the Heinrich Heine Prize, and Neustadt International Prize for Literature among other honors, Frisch was one of Europe's most important postwar writers. Geoffrey David Skelton (1916-1998) was a British author and translator.
. . . extremely interesting . . . has an integrity that is original
and admirable.
Unusual in form and technique, the bittersweet record of a brief
love affair is also a compelling autobiographical sketch . . . a
painfully honest, affecting memoir.
