Swiss writer and playwright Max Frisch (1911-1991) produced an extensive and multiformed body of work. His cardinal theme was the relationship of individuals to themselves and their environment. His dramas Biedermann und die Brandstifter, Andorra and Stiller show problems of the present.Naming citation (20000726/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
