Fritz Zorn's Estate Being Processed Decades After 'Mars' Scandal

The literary estate of Swiss author Fritz Zorn is now being processed, according to a report by the Neue Zürcher Zeitung. Zorn, who died young, published the posthumous work «Mars» in 1977, a book that became both a scandal and a cult classic. The article frames Zorn as a cult author whose writing was screamingly funny, and it examines the final days of a writer whose death was staged publicly. The source describes the public staging of dying as part of the story of his last days. No further details about the archival work, the institutions involved, or the contents of the estate are provided in the available material. The report appears in the Feuilleton section of the NZZ.
