Christoph Hein is a German author and translator.

Growing up in Bad Düben near Leipzig as a clergyman's son and thus not allowed to attend the Erweiterte Oberschule in the communist East, he received secondary education at a gymnasium in the western part of Berlin. After jobbing as an assembler, bookseller and assistant director, he studied philosophy. Upon graduation he became dramatic adviser at the Volksbühne in Berlin, where he worked as a resident writer from 1974. Since 1979, he has worked as a freelance writer, becoming known for his 1982 novella Der fremde Freund (The Distant Lover). ...more

Quotes by Christoph Hein (?)

“Und was ist deine Meinung?' wiederholte der Mann. Dallow kniff die Augen leicht zusammen und sagt rasch ohne weiter zu überlegen: 'Ein Lichtspiel. Die Welt ist ein Lichtspiel.' ('And what is your opinion?' the man repeated. Dallow slightly squinted his eyes and said quickly without contemplating any further: 'A play of lights. The world is a play of lights.')”
― Christoph Hein, Der Tangospieler

“Ich vermeide es, enttäuscht zu werden. Ich wittere schnell, wo es mir passieren könnte. Ich wittere es selbst dort, wo es mir nicht passieren könnte. Und ich wittere es dort so lange, bis es mir auch dort passieren könnte. Ich bin auf alles eingerichtet, ich bin gegen alles gewappnet, mich wird nichts mehr verletzen. Ich bin unverletzlich geworden.
Ich habe in Drachenblut gebadet, und kein Lindenblatt ließ mich irgendwo schutzlos. Aus dieser Haut komme ich nicht mehr heraus. In meiner unverletzlichen Hülle werde ich krepieren an Sehnsucht.”
― Christoph Hein
