Life

Daniel Dubbe attended high school in the Alstertal in Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel . After graduating from high school, he studied Romance and German studies from 1962 to 1969 in Hamburg, Göttingen and Aix-en-Provence. In 1975 he received his doctorate in philosophy with a thesis on Henri Michaux .

Between 1974 and 1983 he gave together with Christoph Derschau , Bernd Cailloux , Manfred Hennig, Natias Neutert , Kiev Stingl a . a. the Boa Vista , magazine for new literature. Since 1975 he has been working as a freelancer for radio and various newspapers (travel reports, essays and literary reviews). Together with Uwe Schrader , he wrote the scripts for the films Kanakerbraut (1983) and Mau Mau (1991).

The author, supported by Helmut Heißenbüttel , has published his own literary work since the mid-1970s, primarily in “little mags” such as Boa Vista , Gasolin 23 , Hermannstr. 14 and noise culture . He reached a wider public in 1984 with the publication of his collection of short stories Wild Men, Little Women . His first novel Bessere Tage , published in 1995, also won over the critics. The Hart auf Hart Collection, published in 2002 , provided a representative cross-section of his narrative work. With the publication of Tropical Fever in 2005 , he also proved his talent for the detective novel.

His two interview books with Thorwald Proll (2003) and Gabriele Rollnik (2004) made important contributions to the discussion about the RAF and the June 2nd Movement .

In 2010 and 2011 the first two books of a planned Hamburg tetralogy appeared. Jungfernstieg or Shyness describes a typical youth in the 1960s and was hailed by critics as a “fine portrait of the epoch”. It was also recognized that the author neither disavowed the wild times nor gave them a halo. Henryk M. Broder was surprised that an author with so much to show would appear so little in the public eye. The following volume, Underground or Probation , uses the biography of a man of 30 years to describe the Hanseatic art scene of the 1970s. Again, the criticism was pleased and noted, among other things, that a collective experience can easily be distilled from this “Education sentimentale”. 2013 and 2014 published with a stopover. Vom Reisen and The Salon Fascist and Other Best Friends are the two final volumes of the Hamburg Quartet. Thomas André sees the whole thing as an "Bildungsroman". Martin Willems sums up his review of Zwischenlandung : "Daniel Dubbe's prose makes you completely happy". For Thomas André, The Salon Fascist is a well-written, extremely entertaining gem - and highly recommended ".

Daniel Dubbe lives in Hamburg.
