in Zurich in 1929, has established himself as a major Swiss author.
He has travelled extensively and is a versatile author. The essay

autobiography, fiction, and journalism (Loetscher started out as
a literary critic for newspapers and magazines). His novels include
the satifical Noah. Der Roman einer Konjunktur (Noah. A
Business Novel; 1967) and the autobiographically informed Der
Immune (The One Who Was Immune; 1975).
