About “Mars”
Mars is an autobiographical book by Fritz Angst, published in 1977 under the pseudonym Fritz Zorn. Adolf Muschg wrote the foreword. The book was reviewed in The New York Times, which noted that "Fritz Zorn" means "Freddie Anger." Written after the author was diagnosed with cancer, the book details Zorn's criticism of his environment, including his upbringing in a wealthy lakeshore neighborhood in Zurich. He describes being "educated to death" and laments an "unlived life," feeling his success was hollow and his life "wrong." He suffered from depression and never had friends or a girlfriend.
