Abstract
Jörg Fauser was the enfant terrible of the German literary scene. Born in the Taunus town of Bad Schwalbach in 1944, he worked a number of different jobs (temporary worker, airport worker, night guard, journalist, author and rock songwriter). The night after his forty-third birthday, he died tragically and under mysterious circumstances when walking on the A94 highway between Feldkirchen and Riehm near Munich, where he was hit by a truck. It was only after his death that he became an iconic figure. In 1988, Das Syndikat, a group of German crime writers, awarded him the prestigious Ehrenglauser prize for crime fiction, named after the Swiss author Friedrich Glauser.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
