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.
Hans Mayer of Die Zeit called Bluebeard "A beautiful new story, which with Montauk and Holocene clearly rounds off an epic triptych.[1] 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."[2]
