About the author

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.
