| Novelist, born in East Berlin, German Democratic Republic (now Germany). He worked as a removal man, museum attendant, and hotel porter before studying sociology and drama. His first novel, Watercolours (1994), was published under the pseudonym Cordt Berneburger. His best-selling satirical novel Heroes Like Us (1998) comments on the downfall of former East Germany, and chronicles the farcical fortunes of the fictional Klaus Uhltzscht, the man who breached the Berlin Wall. |
