Reschke, Claus: Life as a Man:. Contemporary Male-Female Relationships in the Novels of Max Frisch. New York, Bern, Frankfurt/M., Paris Peter Lang Vlg. 1990. ISBN: 978-0-8204-1163-7
The new challenges that face twentieth-century man in his relationship to today's women are a major concern of the Swiss writer Max Frisch (1911 - 1991) and evident in most of his major novels. This comprehensive study in English investigates that challenge as it affects or is affected by society's changing mores, love and marriage, jealousy, guilt, time and aging, and the search for a meaningful life. Major chapters discuss Die Schwierigen, Stiller, Homo faber, Mein Name sei Gantenbein, and Montauk. Also included are discussions of two early works, Jürg Reinhart: Eine sommerliche Schicksalsfahrt and Bin oder Die Reise nach Peking, and the recent novels Der Mensch erscheint im Holozän and Blaubart.

Hoffmann, Josef Will-Doerring, Christian (Ed.): Josef Hoffmann - Interiors 1902 - 1913. With contributions by Michael Huey, Paul Jandl, Janis Staggs and Laurie Stein. München / New York: Prestel Vlg. / Neue Galerie 2006.
Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts bricht ein gewaltiger Umschwung über Wien herein: Der opulente, elegante Stil der Ringstrasse weicht innerhalb von nur 5 Jahren einem neuen Designkonzept, dass die Aspekte des täglichen Lebens miteinbezieht. Josef Hoffmanns Arbeiten spiegeln diesen Wechsel in der Wiener Designszene deutlich wieder. Seine rigoros abstrakten Formen waren essentiell für die Definition des Stils dieser Ära und heute - 100 Jahre später - wirken sie immer noch frisch und zeitgemäß. "Josef Hoffmann: Interiors 1902-1913" präsentiert vier komplette Beispiele aus Hoffmanns Konzeption für das "Gesamtkunstwerk": ein Mädchenschlafzimmer aus dem Max Biach Apartment (Wien 1902), ein Schlafzimmer aus dem Hans Salzer Apartment (Wien 1902), das Esszimmer aus dem Apartment von Jerome Stonborough und Margaret Stonborough-Wittgenstein (Berlin 1905) und das Esszimmer aus dem Apartment des Schweizer Malers Ferdinand Hodler (Genua 1913).

Pickar, Gertrud Bauer: The Dramatic Works of Max Frisch. Bern, Frankfurt/M., Las Vegas Peter Lang Vlg. 1977. ISBN: 978-3-261-02171-7
The dramatic works of Max Frisch display an increasing tendency toward the narrative mode of expression. The first part of this study is concerned with the manifestations of this development with respect to time, place, narrator figures and the narrative impulse. In the second portion, the focus shifts to the effect of language and its correlating image and fiction upon the perception of reality, the discrepancy between the word and the world, and the personal and social implications of preconceived images or predetermined fictions.
