Description
Fiction. Literature. HTML: The unabridged version of a haunting story of a man in prison. His wife, brother, and mistress recognize him and call him by his name, Anatol Ludwig Stiller. But he rejects them, repeatedly insisting that he's not Stiller. Could he possibly be right-or is he deliberately trying to shake off his old identity and assume a new one? Translated by Michael Bullock. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book.

Widespread novel at the top of German prose about the communicable and the unspeakable of a complex personality.

I really enjoyed Max Fisch's novel "I'm Not Stiller." The story was really compelling and offered up some great thoughts on identity -- are you the person you believe yourself to be.... or are you the product of what all those who know you see? Such a great idea for a book.

I liked this story a lot on a first reading, but I think it's definitely one of those books that I'd get even more out of reading it again.
