Timeline
Wolfgang Herrndorf (12 June 1965 in Hamburg – 26 August 2013 in Berlin) was a German author, painter, and illustrator.
His debut novel In Plüschgewittern was published by Zweitausendeins in 2001.
Despite the protagonist's age of approximately 30 years, Herrndorf describes the book as a youth novel.
Critics called it a pop novel.
The Eichborn Verlag published a collection of his interconnected short stories as Diesseits des Van-Allen-Gürtels in 2007.
A fictional interview between Herrndorf and an untrustworthy Cosmonaut, with many traces of science- fiction, was released the same year, by SuKuLTuR-Verlag: Unreliable narrators are a recurring element in Herrndorf's fiction, which is attributed to the influence of Vladimir Nabokov.
His critically and commercially biggest success was the novel Tschick (published as Why We Took the Car in English), a bildungsroman about two fourteen-year-old boys.
The book was featured on the German list of bestselling books for over a year.
A reworked version of In Plüschgewittern was published by Rowohlt in 2008.
After being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour (glioblastoma) in February 2010, he began a digital diary called "das Blog Arbeit und Struktur" (the blog Work and Structure) in which he reports about his deadly illness.
He published his next novel Sand in November 2011.
The novel contains elements of crime fiction, society novels and historical novels.
Herrndorf quipped, the novel could belong to the genre of the "Trottelroman" (idiot novel).
Sand won the Leipzig Book Fair Prize in 2012, ‘’Tschick’’ was nominated for the same prize the year before.
Herrndorf's friend Robert Koall accepted the prize in Herrndorf's stead.
Sand also made it to the shortlist of the German Book Prize.
Herrndorf, who lived in Berlin, regularly wrote in the web forum "Wir höflichen Paparazzi" (a German web forum that reports on random encounters with celebrities), which is acknowledged to have had a strong influence on Herrndorf and worked as a space for resonance.
He also contributed to "Riesenmaschine" (a German collaborative webblog).
He was a member of the national authors football team "Autonama".
It was posthumously published in December 2013 by Rowohlt in book form, as the author had requested.
On 26 August 2013 Herrndorf committed suicide in Berlin.
He was interred at the Dorotheenstadt cemetery in Berlin.
In 2014 Rowohlt published the sequel of Tschick from Isa's point of view as an unfinished novel with the title Bilder deiner großen Liebe (Pictures Of Your True Love).
The epilogue by Kathrin Passig and Marcus Gärtner states that Herrndorf himself approved the release and determined the title.
The book was first performed as a play in 2015 at the Staatsschauspiel Dresden, directed by Jan Gehlers.
