 Georg Klein

Georg Klein was born in Augsburg in 1953. He studied Literature, History and Sociology in Berlin. His big literary breakthrough came in 1998 with the publication of his debut novel, Libidissi, but he had made a name for himself before then with his short stories, which first came to attention in 1984. Klein lives with the writer Kathrin de Vries in Berlin and East Frisia.
