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

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).
