Montauk by Max Frisch
Max Frisch’s candid story of a brief love affair illuminates a lifetime of relationships. Casting himself as both subject and observer, Frisch reflects on his marriages, children, friendships, and careers; a holiday weekend in Long Island is a trigger to recount and question events and aspects of his own life, along with creeping fears of mortality. He paints a bittersweet portrait that is sometimes painful and sometimes humorous, but always affecting. Emotionally raw and formally innovative, Frisch’s novel collapses the distinction between art and life, but leaves the reader with a richer understanding of both.

Montauk has long been considered a masterpiece in Europe, and was included in Marcel Reich-Ranicki’s Canon of German Literature. It has developed a cult following in English, and now, back in print for the first time since its original release, Frisch’s novel is poised to reach the audience it deserves..
