Hätte ich abgebrochen wenn's nicht Schullektüre wäre.

Eher mehrere aneinandergereihte Ereignisse als irgendwas, das annähernd einer Handlung gleicht. Mehrere dieser Ereignisse hätten gute Ansatzpunkte für eine interessante Geschichte geboten, aber stattdessen entscheidet sich Frisch gegen alles was auch nur ansatzweise interessant sein könnte. Fast schon beeindruckend wie gleichzeitig so viel und doch gar nichts passiert.
