Life
After studying economics , business administration and philosophy at the Technical University of Stuttgart and the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich , which he completed with a doctorate on the subject of logical structure and reference of mathematical economic theories in 1980, Händler took over the management of the family-owned metalworking company. In addition to his regular work, he began to write. In his texts he repeatedly deals with the capitalist system and its influence and power of seduction on people. Because of his activity as an entrepreneur, traders are considered insiders of business life. Dealer lives in Regensburg and Munich . He is a member of the PEN Center Germany .
In the literary tradition of Hermann Broch , Robert Musil , and Thomas Bernhard , Händler creates fictional scenarios of our Western European reality, constructing the building of our society and its functioning progressively from one novel to the next.
The novel Wenn wir die took first place on the SWR list of best in November 2002 and received the prize of the 2003 list of SWR for the best book of the year. The jury's reasoning: “In 2003, Ernst-Wilhelm Händler went to the SWR best list for his novel Wenn wir die. He finds a cold language for contemporary capitalism, which affects people's psychological constitution. Dealer shows this with the example of four top female managers who fight each other and reduce the performance principle to absurdity. ”
Dealer's novel" Munich "was on the long list of the German Book Prize 2016.
