ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Silke Scheuermann, born 1973, first gained acclaim for her poetry. Educated in Frankfurt am Main, Leipzig, and Paris, she studied literature and theatre studies. She is the author of three novels, of which The Hour Between Dog and Wolf was the first. She has been awarded numerous literary prizes. Scheuermann is often associated with a certain set of young authors in Germany that also includes Judith Hermann. From Hermann’s work came the "sound of a new generation" and a "female wonder" (Spiegel 12/1999). The "female wonder" (Fräuleinwunder) refers to a generation of young female authors who are highly successful authors.
