Life
The son of a driver grew up in Munich-Pasing. Link studied economics and ran a translation company with his wife in Munich. In 1997 he became known with his autobiographical novel Hungerleider . Here and in his subsequent works he parodied the jargon and the attitude towards life in Bavarian suburbs.
Together with Norbert Niemann, he founded the group of authors, Treffen der 13 . Link was a scholarship holder of the Arno Schmidt Foundation . In 1998 he received an annual grant from the German Literature Fund .
His most successful, by Elke Heidenreich in Reading! The book presented by Miss Ursula was only published after his fatal motorcycle accident. In his epilogue, Niemann described him as a "representative of a Bavarian tradition of the anarchic, which begins in the Volksstück and with Karl Valentin."
