Writers are popular interview partners for two reasons: they are expected to provide insights into their own works and to shed light on the general state of the world. The writer interview is a continuation of literature through the means of media language. It thrives on the immediacy with which writers speak up and take a stance on literary, social, and political issues. Max Frisch epitomized a writer who intervenes and is heard. He gave countless interviews, even though he actually disliked them. Nevertheless, he mastered them with great virtuosity: he was a master of conversation, as Jodi Daynard describes, who interviewed him for three days in the 1980s. Now, for the first time, a selection of the best interviews and conversations with Max Frisch is being published. Some of these are being released for the very first time.
