Simon Urban was born in Hagen in 1975.[1] He studied at the Leipzig University's German Institute for Literature, worked in advertising and published short stories before he debuted as a novelist. His first novel was Plan D [de] (2011), a political and ironic thriller set in an alternative present where East Germany never fell.[2] His second novel Gondwana (2014) is a satirical murder mystery set on a Pacific island where people from different religions try to co-exist in an experiment where they adopt every prohibition from each other's religions.[3]Wie alles begann und wer dabei umkam (2021) is a picaresque novel about death penalty and legal paradoxes.[1] In 2023 he published the social novel Zwischen Welten [de] which he co-wrote with Juli Zeh. It consists of e-mails and phone messages between a woman who runs a farm and a man who works at a newspaper; they disagree about many matters but both adore the writer Martin Walser.[4]
