About this ebook
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

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed Max Fisch's novel "I'm Not Stiller." The story was really compelling and offered up some great thoughts on identity -- are you the person you believe yourself to be.... or are you the product of what all those who know you see? Such a great idea for a book.The novel follows a man who is arrested in Switzerland after someone identifies him as the missing and mysterious Stiller. The prisoner denies he is Stiller and begins to set down his evidence in his notebooks.I liked this story a lot on a first reading, but I think it's definitely one of those books that I'd get even more out of reading it again.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Heel af en toe doet een mens nog eens een aangename ontdekking. Bij Max Frisch en Stiller is dat zeker het geval. Dit is het verhaal van een man die aan de Zwitserse grens wordt aangehouden omdat hij zich voordoet als een Amerikaan, maar eigenlijk de voortvluchtige Stiller zou zijn. In de cel houdt hij notities bij waardoor we geleidelijk, broksgewijs en vanuit verschillende standpunten, ingewijd worden in zijn verleden, zijn worsteling met zijn identiteit, zijn gecomplexeerde relatie tot zijn vrouw, zijn Zwitser/Amerikaan-zijn. Af en toe verliest Frisch zich in details. Maar Stiller is heerlijk genieten. Spijtig dat ik het moest lezen in Franse vertaling, ik vond niet meteen een Nederlandse editie.
