Frisch, Max

Max Frisch (1911-1991) was born in Zurich Switzerland. In a writing career that spanned six decades, Frisch firmly established himself as one of the most striking voices of modern literature. He began by writing short fiction, then novels and finally a series of plays that have since conquered the stage. Michael Bullock, poet, fiction writer and playwright, is one of the leading translators of German and French literature. For many years he was Frisch’s official translator and has also translated some of the plays of Friedrich Dürrenmatt.
