Biography
Daniel Kehlmann was born in 1975 in Munich. His father was a film and theatre director and his mother an actress. His grandfather was an expressionist writer. The family moved to Vienna when he was six (his father was originally from Vienna). He studied German literature and philosophy at the University of Vienna. He started work on a doctoral thesis on Kant but did not finish because of his success as a writer.
