On April 11, 1974, the Consulate General of Switzerland proudly announced: "The famous Swiss writer, winner of numerous awards and honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Max Frisch, author of novels, plays and diaries and one of the leading personalities in modern literature, will be in Chicago." As a major event a reading hour had been arranged for Tuesday, April 23, at the University of Illinois - in cooperation with the Consulate General of (West) Germany and the Swiss Benevolent Society of Chicago - where the author was to read from his recently published Sketchbook 1966-1971.
