Max Frisch

Max Frisch is a Swiss writer whose novels and plays examine identity, self-deception, responsibility, and the stories people build about themselves. Homo Faber follows a rational modern man whose life exposes the limits of control, while I'm Not Stiller turns personal identity into a tense literary investigation.

In Andorra, Trueman and the Arsonists, and Sketchbook 1966-1971, Max Frisch combines moral inquiry with clean dramatic intelligence. His work often asks whether a person can escape the roles imposed by society, memory, or fear. That question gives his fiction and theater a precise, enduring unease.
