Biographische (Lebens-)Geschichten von Herrn Frisch, die eigentlich nicht in einen non-biographischen Ansatz gehören. Nun gehören die drei letzten Erzählungen aber - laut Forschung - zusammen und werden gerne in einen Karton geschmissen. Tja, was soll man da anderes machen als auch eine (quasi-)biographische Erzählung zu lesen. Halten wir fest: Frisch redet mehr über die letzte Trennung zu seiner Geliebten als über seine (Ex-)Frau und Kinder. Er kennt seine Fehler irgendwo und irgendwie, aber auch nicht so richtig. Er versteht viel vom Küstenwetter - Notiz an mich: Land- und Seewind, Regen am Meer - aber wenig von Frauen, da er mit ihnen anders umgeht als mit männlichen Menschen.

An autobiographical account of the author having a brief romantic interlude with a woman 30+ years younger, on Long Island in the late seventies. The event serves as a basis for contemplation of his relationships throughout his life. Most moving towards the end.
