Killing Time: The Autobiography of Paul Feyerabend

Resumen

Killing Time: The Autobiography of Paul Feyerabend is an autobiography by philosopher Paul Feyerabend. The book details, amongst other things, Feyerabend's youth in Nazi-controlled Vienna, his military service, notorious academic career, and his multiple romantic conquests. The book's title, Killing Time is a play on the near-homonym Feierabend, a German compound noun meaning 'the workday's end and the evening following it'.
Feyerabend barely managed to finish writing the book, lying in a hospital bed with an inoperable brain tumor and the left side of his body paralyzed, and he died shortly before it was released. Killing Time was first published in an Italian translation in 1994, with the English original as well as German and Spanish translations following the year afterward. It is one of Feyerabend's best-known works.
