Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre

Possibly Germany’s most well-known young author of the past 15 years, von Stuckrad-Barre stands at the forefront of a new literary movement that moved from Germany’s wartime past and into the 21st century.

After working for Rolling Stone, von Stuckrad-Barre’s 1998 book Soloalbum (written when he was only 23) captured the emotions of young love to the soundtrack of Oasis and Pearl Jam. After the follow-up Livealbum, von Stuckrad-Barre embarked on various ambitious projects. His self-described goal has always been to reflect “what is going on [in the world]”, and he continues to do so in unconventional ways, sometimes being refered to as the ‘bad boy’ of the German literary scene.
