Gero Reimann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gero Reimann (* 1944 near Łódź ; † August 11, 2009 in Hanover ) was a German writer.

Gero Reimann grew up temporarily in South America, studied German, sociology and political science in Marburg and was a teacher in Hanover and Stadthagen until at least the end of the 1990s, most recently as a teacher. His work is narrow and, along with three books, consists of a number of scattered stories that have often provoked controversy and both praise and bitter criticism. Reimann showed himself to be strongly influenced by the texts of Philip K. Dick , whom he also translated.

His posthumously published novel Sonky Suizid , in which he deals with his cancer, was written in 1983 and has not found a publisher for a long time. When the disease flared up again in 2009, Reimann revised the manuscript and looked for a publisher again.
