Entry updated 20 November 2022. Tagged: Author.
(1956- ) German journalist – winner of several journalism awards – and author, active since 1981 and at book length since 1991. He is of borderline sf interest for Die kleine König Dezember (1993 chap; trans Rosemary Davidson as Little King December 2002 chap), a tale of reversed ageing (see Time in Reverse) in which the eponymous king is met as a shrinking miniature creature, reaching the end of his backwards life and imparting wisdom.
