I'm Not Stiller: A Haunting Philosophical Mystery of a Man Who Rejects His Identity (A Harvest Book) - Softcover
Synopsis
The unabridged version of a haunting story of a man in prison. His wife, brother, and mistress recognize him and call him by his name, Anatol Ludwig Stiller. But he rejects them, repeatedly insisting that he’s not Stiller. Could he possibly be right-or is he deliberately trying to shake off his old identity and assume a new one? Translated by Michael Bullock. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book

About the Author
Max Frisch, born in Zurich in 1911, was one of the giants of twentieth-century literature, achieving fame as a novelist, playwright, diarist, and essayist. He died in 1991, the year Homo Faber was made by Volker Schlondorff into the acclaimed motion picture Voyager, starring Sam Shepard.
Reviews
Frisch's Kafkaesque tale follows the tribulations of Anatol Stiller, who changes his identity only to be eventually unmasked. This Harcourt edition offers the uncut text to the American reader for the first time. LJ's reviewer found this appropriate for large European fiction collections (LJ 4/15/58).

I'm Not Stiller
Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. Arrested and imprisoned in a small Swiss town, a prisoner begins this book with an exclamation: I'm not Stiller He claims that his name is Jim White, that he has been jailed under false charges and under the wrong identity. To prove he is who he claims to be, he confesses to three unsolved murders and recalls in great detail an adventuresome life in America and Mexico among cowboys and peasants, in back alleys and docks. He is consumed by the morbid impulse to convince, but no one believes him. This is a harrowing account part Kafka, part Camus of the power of self-deception and the freedom that ultimately lies in self-acceptance. Simultaneously haunting and humorous, I'm Not Stiller has come to be recognized as one of the major post-war works of fiction and a masterpiece of German literature. Seller Inventory # CIN0156849909G
