A stunning tour de force, Man in the Holocene constructs a powerful
vision of our place in the world by combining the banality of an
aging man's lonely inner life and the objective facts he finds in
the books of his isolated home. As a rainstorm rages outside, Max
Frisch's protagonist, Geiser, watches the mountain landscape
crumble beneath landslides and flooding, and speculates that the
town will be wiped out by the collapse of a section of the
mountain. Seeking refuge from the storm in town, he makes his way
through a difficult and dangerous mountain pass, only to abandon
his original plan and return home. A compelling meditation by one
of Frisch's most original characters, Man in the Holocene charts
Geiser's desperate attempt to find his place in history and in the
confusing and fragile world outside his window.
