Kurzfassung:
From July 1981 to April 1983, I kept a diary in the field, making entries whenever loneliness and frustration seemed to reach a peak, or I was consumed by self-pity at the hopelessness of my task, or less often, when I simply wanted to express myself about something remarkable, or rarer still, to exult in a special triumph. I should add that scribbling is a habit for me diary-like, essay-like scribbling but one which constitutes an end in itself. To make it public needs some justification. I harbor an academic bias against the tendency toward vulgarization, the notion that a personal experience can be elevated to the status of a universal one.
