Peter Stephan Jungk, was born in 1952 in Santa Monica, California. He grew up in Vienna, Salzburg and Berlin, and later studied at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles. "One of the most exciting German voices to emerge in recent years", his literary début was a collection of stories Holly-Wood followed by several novels, which include Tigor, Coming Full Circle, The Inheritance, The Perfect American and Crossing the Hudson, which is forthcoming.

"I find it difficult to define my homeland. The only place where I feel my roots, my identity, is writing. Writing is my house, my home, my passion."

For Peter Handke, Jungk´s novels appear as adventures "the minute details of which read real to the extreme, offering sheer delight".

Peter Stephan Jungk lives in Paris.
