This paper examines the way in which the two Swiss writers Max Frisch and Friedrich Dürrenmatt responded to Beckett's work. Both of these authors profoundly engaged with Beckett's dramatic and novelistic texts in their writings on theatre, and read him as being apart, rather than a part of, the Theatre of the Absurd. Frisch, in particular, was ostensibly interested in, and to a certain degree influenced by Beckett's work. At the same time, this essay charts Beckett's own reading of Frisch and his reactions on seeing his plays in performance. Finally, a shared emphasis on form and autographical writing is examined through a reading of Frisch's novel and Beckett's .
