Benedict Wells (born Benedict von Schirach, 29 February 1984 in Munich) is a German-Swiss novelist. Wells grew up in Bavaria. At the age of six, he was sent to a state boarding school after his parents separated and had to deal with several problems. All of his school years were spent at boarding schools and homes. Following his graduation from high school in 2003, he decided not to go to university but instead moved to Berlin to pursue his writing. He made a living doing odd jobs. His first novel Becks letzter Sommer (Beck's Last Summer) was published in 2008 and received widespread acclaim. It was described by Die Zeit as "the most interesting debut of the year" and was made into a film in 2015, starring Christian Ulmen. In the meantime, his third novel Fast genial (Almost Ingenious) had become a first bigger success in Germany. More information...
