Talk:Max Frisch

Clarification

He was "one of the most representative writers of German literature after World War II" despite being Swiss and living in Switzerland his entire life? --NEMT 15:44, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

In reply to the above: 'German literature' is probably meaning literature written in the German language, rather than that which belongs to Germany. Could be clarified though.

External Links

There is a poem listed in the external links, I don't think this qualifies as a reliable reference since it's a subjective interpretation of the play and doesn't necessarily add anything factual to the page. I will give this time to see if anyone else thinks otherwise and then remove it. BlueKangaroo 16:14, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Article Quality

This article is poorly written and contains several grammatical mistakes. The content is also weak. Much of Max Frisch's life is left out and some of his important works are not mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.148.43 (talk) 03:14, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Copyright problem

This article has been reverted by a bot to this version as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) This has been done to remove User:Accotink2's contributions as they have a history of extensive copyright violation and so it is assumed that all of their major contributions are copyright violations. Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

Film versions of his work

At least one of his novels (Homo Faber) was made into a movie. It is common on Wik for this sort of information to be mentioned. I don't know what others were filmed, so I haven't added anything. Kdammers (talk) 10:35, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

"though these pieces are all now for the most part forgotten"

This sentence is confusing.

"The piece unleashed public discussion of the issues involved, and can today be compared with Friedrich Dürrenmatt's The Physicists (1962) and Heinar Kipphardt's On the J Robert Oppenheimer Affair (In der Sache J. Robert Oppenheimer), though these pieces are all now for the most part forgotten."

Surely "though these pieces are all now for the most part forgotten" refers to the plays written by Max Frisch, not Friederich Dürrenmatt's Die Physiker. Dürrenmatt's play is still very well known.

Please clarify
