The unreal intact within the devastated real – Pages from a youthful diary (1971-1974)

It’s one o’clock in the morning, and I regret it.

Wednesday, February 7, 1973 Here are excerpts from the diary of a literature student in the 1970s in Bern (his hometown), Vienna, and Paris, at a time when universities gave students free rein to read, listen to music, and reflect.

Why publish them now? To remind us of the timeless quality of great works of art. To revive the memory of an era that held literature and the arts in high esteem, that fostered a culture of dialogue and open-minded exchange.
