Robert Menasse, who was born into a Jewish family in Vienna in
1954, speaks with the voice of the generation known as Nachgeborene
("those born after"). Although fortunate to have escaped the
persecution and exile his parents endured, Menasse's stories
constantly refract the suffering of the past through the ironic
distance of a feeling observer. His critically humorous voice
uncovers surprising truths about himself and the past. As the
author of over twenty books, which include critical essays on
contemporary cultural topics as well as novels and short stories,
Menasse's fame as a major figure in contemporary Austrian
literature is firmly established. He has received many prestigious
literary prizes and divides his time between Vienna and Amsterdam.
