Dieter Paul Rudolph

Life

After completing his studies, he worked as a multimedia developer, among other things, and in 2007 began to devote himself increasingly to crime literature with his blog Watching the detectives , initially as a critic and theorist, and later as an editor of forgotten crime novels and his own novels. In his earlier journalistic life he dealt intensively with the interpretation of the work of Arno Schmidt , wrote about rock music, a book about the Canadian songwriter Joni Mitchell and tried his hand at experimental prose. From 2013 he was also the initiator of the authors' cooperative “The Third Room”.
