Author Description
From 1968-1974 he studied medieval and modern history in Munich and Aix-en-Provence. In the '80s he worked as a screenwriter, for Kir Royal and Monaco Franze among others.
After spending the 1970s writing what he has characterized as “short unpublished prose pieces and longer un-produced screenplays”, Patrick Süskind was catapulted to fame in the 1980s by the monodrama
Der Kontrabass
(
The Double Bass
, 1981), which became an instant success and a favourite of the German stage. In 1985 his status as literary wunderkind was confirmed with the publication of the novel
Das Parfüm. Die Geschichte eines Mörders
(
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
), which quickly topped the European best-seller list and eventually sold millions of copies worldwide.
