Commentary Concering Books I'm Not Stiller

Arrested and imprisoned in a small Swiss town, a prisoner begins this book with an exclamation: "I'm not Stiller!" He claims that his name is Jim White, that he has been jailed under false charges and under the wrong identity. To prove he is who he claims to be, he confesses to three unsolved murders and recalls in great detail an adventuresome life in America and Mexico among cowboys and peasants, in back alleys and docks. He is consumed by "the morbid impulse to convince," but no one believes him. This is a harrowing account part Kafka, part Camus of the power of self-deception and the freedom that ultimately lies in self-acceptance. Simultaneously haunting and humorous, I'm Not Stiller has come to be recognized as "one of the major post-war works of fiction" and a masterpiece of German literature.

Weigh Up Out Of Books I'm Not Stiller

I'm Not Stiller ("Stiller" in the original German version) was definitely not an easy read, nor was it short. The really valuable part of the book is not recognised in black on white but has to be thought through by oneself: The beauty is not on the surface but between the lines. The main theme that I am choosing in this moment in time is shortly mentioned by Stiller's friend in the second part of the book: To learn, not how to become who you want to be, but how to become who you actually are.

There are a lot of excellent reviews, so Ill make this one fairly short.A man believed to be Stiller is in a Swiss prison for vague reasons unknown to the reader at first. He has returned to Switzerland after an absence of nine years. He says hes an American and has a passport to prove it. But his wife, brother and mistress all call him Stiller to his face. The police say the passport is fake. Yet he insists hes not Stiller.The book is structured as seven notebooks Stiller wrote in prison and a

In my edition of this book, there's a quote by Hermann Hesse in the blurb which basically says: you have to read this book in a way that you take part in it, in the 'game' it plays; otherwise it doesn't work. and I agree with that, and I think the way to get the most out of it is actually applying the game to yourself. The game is, basically, looking at yourself as if you were a different person, as if this you had nothing to do with the real you, as if you were a stranger; and then trying to

One of these days I'll finish this damn book. I'm about halfway in and just spinning my tires in all of the detail that comes with German-ish postwar writing. I love the idea of mistaken identity and the whole discussion of the sin of projecting identities, false or otherwise, upon a person or thing. I'm interested to know how this ends...if I ever get there!

Stiller = I'm Not Stiller, Max FrischI'm Not Stiller is a novel by Swiss author Max Frisch, which was published in 1954. The theme of the novel, the question of identity, is a recurring theme in the work of Frisch. The narrator, travelling on an American passport in the name of James Larkin White, is arrested on arrival in Switzerland. He is accused of being the missing Swiss sculptor Anatol Ludwig Stiller, an accusation which White persistently denies. Friends and acquaintances visit and

#1001books #690leftAnother of The List's books that was not for me, mostly because it was all together too philosophical and meandering with far too little explanation. I just wanted to find out if the dude was or wasn't Stiller! Every time I'd start thinking he was or wasn't, something else would emerge and then I was back at square one again. I guess I just didn't get it--bad translation or something, I don't know.
