| Writer, born in Kammin, Pomerania (now part of Poland). He studied at Rostock and Leipzig, and left East for West Germany after completing his first novel, Mutmassungen über Jakob (Speculations about Jakob) in 1959. His second and third novels, Das dritte Buch über Achim (1961, The Third Book about Achim), and Zwei Ansichten (1965, Two Views), develop the theme of the relation between the two Germanies. He later moved to university posts in the USA, and then to England, but published no fiction after 1965. |
