Translations into over 40 languages bear testimony to his international resonance. An extensive collection of relevant research literature is indicative of how the author's work is received in academia. Books by authors from Max Frisch's circle (Bertolt Brecht, Ingeborg Bachmann, Friedrich Dürrenmatt) and lexicons embed his work in its historical and social context.
