Timeline
Janne Teller (born 8 April 1964 in Copenhagen) is a Danish writer of Austrian–German descent, who lives in New York and Berlin.
Before she became a full-time writer she used to work as a conflict advisor for EU and UNO, mostly in Africa.
Janne Teller's literature, consisting of mainly novels and essays, but also short stories – as well as various works for young adults – always focuses on larger existential perspectives of life and human civilization and often sparks controversial and heated debates.
She has received many literary awards, and her work is translated over 25 languages.
Janne Teller's novels cover a wide variety of contemporary and philosophical issues.
She devoted herself full-time to fiction writing in 1995.

She's furthermore thought to have revolutionized the young adult novel with her existential Nothing (Danish Intet), first published in Denmark in 2000, earned critical acclaim and caused widespread controversy in Scandinavia.
It was initially banned, but has since risen as an international bestseller and is today considered a neo-classic by numerous critics worldwide.
The novel's main character, the boy Pierre Anthon, proclaims to his classmates that life is meaningless, sitting in a plum tree.
