Maxim Biller (born 25 August 1960 in Prague, Czechoslovakia) is a German writer and columnist.
Born in Prague to Russian Jewish parents, Rada Biller and Semjon-Jevsej Biller. He emigrated with his parents and sister to Germany in 1970, when he was ten years old.[1] After living for a long time in Hamburg and Munich, he now lives in Berlin, frequently writing about issues relating to Jews and Germans.[2] His maternal grandfather was Armenian.[3]
In 2003 his novel Esra excited attention when its sale was prohibited shortly after its release. Two persons had a provisional order obtained, because they claimed to have seen themselves reflected in characters in the book. A German court obliged their request to take the book from circulation on these grounds.[4][5]
His first works translated into English (by Anthea Bell) are the collection Love Today (2008), some of which appeared in The New Yorker.[6]
Biller strongly identifies as a Zionist and is critical of antisemitism within the anti-Zionist movement.[7]
