Writer Max Frisch dies in Switzerland The New York Times ZURICH, Switzerland Max Frisch, 79, the Swiss novelist, dramatist, and essayist, died Thursday. A major theme of Frisch's fiction was the individual's struggle to retain his or her identity in a world of shifting values, totalitarian ideologies, and technological revolutions. His works, written over half a century and translated into more than 20 languages, include the novels "I'm Not Stiller" (1958), "Homo Faber" (1959), "A Wilderness of Mirrors" (1966), and "Man in the Holo-cene" (1980); diaries like "Sketchbook 1946-1949" and "Sketchbook and the plays "The Firebugs" and "Andorra." There were productions of "The Firebugs" in New York City in 1963 and 1975 and one of "Andorra" in 1963. Over the years, his best works were praised by reviewers for their variety and originality of style, for lucidity and elegance of form, and for restraint and universality.

Some reviewers criticized Frisch's writing as pessimistic and negative. The writer offered this rebuttal in an interview in The New York Times in 1981: "I believe it is much more negative not to suffer by not showing those things, because if you suffer, it means that you will want something else in life, something more. Praising things as they are is just giving in." His many honors included the 1985 Common Wealth Award by a jury of the Modern Language Association and the 1986 Neustadt International Prize for Literature. sT" to plan enough Barbara A.
