Bichsel, Peter

    0.61 sec.

Bichsel, Peter (1935- )

Swiss writer. Excelling at the short story and miniature, he describes states of mind and attitudes with deceptive simplicity, as in Eigentlich möchte Frau Blum den Milchmann kennenlernen/And Really Frau Blum Would Very Much Like to Meet the Milkman (1964).

Primarily interested in moods, he explores moral complexities, the anonymity of modern life, and lack of communication, in a tight, evocative style. Kindergeschichten/Children's Stories (1969) has a fairy-story quality, whereas his short novel (or loosely connected series of prose pieces) Die Jahreszeiten/The Seasons (1967) explores the possibilities of writing itself.
