Mein Name sei Gantenbein

In this novel, Max Frisch employs a postmodern narrative approach where the narrator constructs various stories about a man named Gantenbein, who, among other roles, pretends to be blind.

The book delves into themes of identity, seeing and not-seeing, and the fluidity of reality.

The narrative is characterized by its fragmented and often contradictory nature, reflecting the complexity of human identity and the ways in which individuals present themselves to the world.

The novel also touches on the idea that happiness and authenticity can only be found within the confines of empirical reality, despite the creative and liberating aspects of constructing fictional identities.
