Sketchbook, 1946–1949

A new translation of one of the earliest volumes of Max Frisch’s innovative notebooks.Throughout his life, the great Swiss playwright and novelist Max Frisch (1911–1991) kept a series of diaries, or sketchbooks, as they came to be known in English. First published in English translation in the 1970s, these sketchbooks played a major role in establishing Frisch as, according to the New York Times, ‘the most innovative, varied and hard-to-categorize of all major contemporary authors.’
