Cornelius Zimmermann , born in 1978 in South Baden, quickly had to learn that the Black Forest is teeming with orcs. He now lives and works in Berlin, where he opposes dark forces with legal and political means. From a literary perspective, he sees himself as a representative of rational realism, but does consider it possible that a colony of microscopically small, highly intelligent hamsters are hiding behind his wallpaper that speak Hebrew with a Brazilian accent and are all called Günther.
