Bluebeard (German: Blaubart) is a 1982 novel by the Swiss writer Max Frisch. It tells the story of a medical doctor who is accused of murdering his ex-wife. It was Frisch's last novel.
Reception
Hans Mayer of Die Zeit called Bluebeard "A beautiful new story, which with Montauk and Holocene clearly rounds off an epic triptych. Reinhard Baumgart of Der Spiegel described it as "very taciturn, yes a quiet book", and wrote that "In parts, the story truly speaks the embarrassing, suggestive and all but naked language of dreams, of the repression of a very bright and sometimes also too weakly lit dream.
