André Kubiczek
André Kubiczek (* 1969 in Potsdam ) is a German writer .
Life
Kubiczek is the younger of two sons of the political scientist Wolfgang Kubiczek. His mother, a Laotian, had met his father in Moscow when they were both studying there. He studied for a while German in Leipzig and Bonn , but abandoned his studies.
In 1997 Kubiczek received the Brandenburg working grant , and in 1998 the Alfred Döblin grant from the Academy of Arts. His debut novel Junge Talente was published in 2002. The theme of the novel is the “literary farewell to children and youth in a declining state”, which critics put in a row with the corresponding debut works by Jakob Hein and Claudia Rusch . All three authors are "children of the last genuine GDR generation" who, in their autobiographical works, freed themselves from the "improper language" of an "indoctrinated public".
For his second novel, Die Guten und die Böse , Kubiczek was nominated for the Marburg Literature Prize in 2005, and in 2007 he was awarded the Candide Prize . In 2016 he received a working grant from the Berlin Senate. In the same year Kubiczek's novel Sketch of a Summer was published, which was shortlisted for the German Book Prize . The novel focuses on a 16-year-old boy who spends the summer alone with friends in Potsdam in 1985 and falls in love for the first time.
Kubiczek lives in Berlin.
