Biography: A Game

Man rewrites his life repeatedly through imagined alternative histories

About the author

Max Frisch
Max Frisch

Swiss playwright and novelist whose work examined Swiss bourgeois complacency, identity, and self-deception with cool Brechtian intelligence. The Firebugs (Biedermann und die Brandstifter) is a brilliant parable about complicity in catastrophe. His diary novels are equally important.
