English translationsof his works are available in multiple recent editions. Frisch was a recipient of both the Büchner Award (1958), and the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade (1976); his body of work explores questions of identity, alienation, and ethics in modern society. He is best known for the plays \u003ci\u003eAndorra\u003c\/i\u003e (1961), a seminal drama that examines indifference and mass psychology in the context of the Shoah and continues to be produced by theaters around the world, and \u003ci\u003eBiedermann und die Brandstifter\u003c\/i\u003e (1958), another worldwide success and one of the most frequently used texts in advanced undergraduate German courses in the United States, as well as for his novels \u003ci\u003eStiller\u003c\/i\u003e (1954), \u003ci\u003eHomo Faber\u003c\/i\u003e (1957), and \u003ci\u003eMein Name sei Gantenbein\u003c\/i\u003e (1964). Yet Frisch has only recently begun to receive the sustained scholarly attention he deserves: neither a comprehensive introductory volume to nor a collaborative handbook on the works of Frisch is available in English, a situation that this volume redresses. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors: Régine Battiston, Klaus van den Berg, Olaf Berwald, Amanda Charitina Boyd, Céline Letawe, Walter Obschlager, John D.
