«Grieche sucht Griechin» is the prose comedy by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, published by Diogenes Verlag AG in paperback (155 pages, in German).
Arnolph Archilochos, a modest accountant tired of loneliness, places an ad: «Grieche sucht Griechin» (Greek seeks Greek woman). A charming young woman responds, but she is not who she seems: she is a famous courtesan. Dürrenmatt thus builds a satirical comedy about deception, loneliness, and the search for love.
Work originally published in 1955; this 1985 edition belongs to the detebe collection (no. 22514) of Diogenes Verlag AG.
For readers of German literature and admirers of satire and humor; a Swiss classic of the 20th century with irony and social criticism.
Friedrich Dürrenmatt was a Swiss author and dramatist. He was a proponent of epic theatre whose plays reflected the recent experiences of World War II. The politically active author's work included avant-garde dramas, philosophical crime novels, and macabre satire. Dürrenmatt was a member of the Gruppe Olten, a group of left-wing Swiss writers who convened regularly at a restaurant in the city of Olten.
