New York-dilettante-turned-Berlin-author Ralph Martin has delighted Germany with his prose stylings since 2009′s EIN AMERIKANER IN BERLIN (not his choice of title). His next book PAPANOIA, about modern German parenting, made him a pariah in Prenzlauer Berg, which is fine since he has since moved to Kreuzberg. He has written for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and Cicero and selected American publications.
