Overview

Bluebeard is a 1982 novel by the Swiss writer Max Frisch. It tells the story of a medical doctor who is accused of murdering his ex-wife. It was Frisch's last novel. Reception Hans Mayer of Die Zeit called Bluebeard "A beautiful new story, which with Montauk and Holocene clearly rounds off an epic triptych. Reinhard Baumgart of Der Spiegel described it as "very taciturn, yes a quiet book", and wrote that "In parts, the story truly speaks the embarrassing, suggestive and all but naked language of dreams, of the repression of a very bright and sometimes also too weakly lit dream." Film (1984, TV film directed by Krzysztof Zanussi), with Vadim Glowna, Margarethe von Trotta, Barbara Lass, Karin Baal, Vera Tschechowa, Maja Komorowska, Elisabeth Trissenaar See also 1982 in literature Swiss literature

Notable quotes

“Be kind. Don't kill for any reason. Don't even kill out of self-defense. Really — I mean that. Don't take any more than you need of anything. Help others.”
— From a speech given on 20 January 1969 at the University of Michigan, about two months before Slaughterhouse Five was published, as reported in "A very new kind of WIR [Writer in Residence]" by Daniel Okrent, feature editor, The Michigan Daily (21 January 1969), pp. 1–2
“You know, in a way I wish I hadn't met you two. It's much more convenient to think of the opposition as a nice homogeneous, dead-wrong mass. Now I've got to muddy my thinking with exceptions.”
— Chapter 9 (p. 91)
“It was a marvelous engine for doing violence to the spirit of thousands of laws without actually running afoul of so much as a city ordinance.”
— Chapter 3 "United Hotcake Preferred" (p. 78)
“I never knew a writer's wife who wasn't beautiful.”
— Preface (p. xi)
“I wish that people who are conventionally supposed to love each other would say to each other, when they fight, "Please — a little less love, and a little more common decency."”
— Prologue
“In the nightmare of a warring world, it takes peculiar skills to get along.”
— Story: "The commandant's desk" - p.193
