Subject Matter

A Treasury in Five Volumes
Published by Diogenes as Das Stoffe-Projekt
Original Title: Das Stoffe-Projekt

Shortly after his greatest triumphs on the stage, Dürrenmatt went through his deepest personal and creative crisis. He felt that his audience, which so far had carried him on their hands, no longer understood him, and embarked on a mission to at least understand himself. From this emerged the project Subject Matter - his major late work. Within it, he interweaves autobiographical, philosophical and fictional texts and text fragments to create an entirely unique style of prose.

Daniel Kehlmann / NZZ am Sonntag, Zurich

»An awe-inspiring late work.«

Gisa Funck / Deutschlandfunk, Cologne

»A puzzle of lightbulb moments and obsessions.«

Andreas Platthaus / FAZ, Frankfurt
