Benedict Wells

Benedict Wells was born in Munich in 1984 and initially grew up in Switzerland. At the age of six began his journey through three Bavarian boarding schools. Following his graduation from high school in 2003, he moved to Berlin where he decided not to go to university. Instead, he devoted himself to writing. He made a living doing odd jobs, most recently working for the editorial board of a talk show. His highly regarded debut ›Beck’s last summer‹ was published in 2008 and received the Bavarian Kunstförderpreis. ›Spinner‹ (›Crank‹) is his first book - written at the age of 19. Benedict Wells' books are published in 5 languages.
