The blog of Michael K.
Frisch's Sketchbook 1966-71, pg. 34
WARSAW
Little to be had, if one were to want it, yet all the same one gets the impression that they live better than the Russians. They can smile at themselves. What they display in the shop window: taste without goods, imagination, gracefulness. It looks almost like bravado.
Yes, that's it. I'll be damned if I don't live my life with taste, imagination, gracefulness...bravado.

About me
- Michael K.
- Observing the things in my personal cosmos: music of a catchy sort, soccer, hockey and other sports, theories of place, media and culture, academic life, history, nature, politics, the international, the parochial. You never know what you might get. For generosity of the spirit.
